Sandstone
is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-size mineral or rock
grains. Most sandstone is comprised of quartz and/or feldspar
because these are the most common minerals in earth's crust. Like
sand, sandstone may be any color, but the most common colors are
tan, brown, yellow, red grey and white. Since sandstone beds often
from highly visible cliffs and other topographic features, certain
colors of sandstone may be strongly identified with certain
regions. Some sandstones are resistant to weathering, yet are easy
to work. This makes sandstone a common building and paving
material. Because of the hardness of the individual grains,
uniformity of grain size and somewhat friable nature, sandstone is
an excellent material from which to make grindstones for
sharpening blades and other implements.
Limestone
is a chemical sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral
calcite (Calcium Carbonate: CaCO3). Limestone often contain
variable amounts of silica in the form of chert or flint as well
as amounts of clay, silt and sand as disseminations, nodules or
layers within the rock unit. The primary source of this calcite is
most commonly marine organisms. These organisms secrete shells
that settle out of the water column and are deposited on ocean
floors as pelagic ooze. Secondary calcite may also be deposited by
supersaturated meteoric waters (groundwater that precipitates the
material in caves). This produces speleothems such as stalagmites
and stalactites. Another form is composed of oolites (oolitic
limestone) and can be recognised by its granular appearance.
Limestone makes up about 10 percent of the total volume of all
sedimentary rocks.
The applications of both above stones are random and square cut
flagstone, architectural stone, flooring, construction,
landscaping and other exterior applications depending upon the
imagination of an architect.
There's
nothing more elegant, appealing and durable than natural stone in
the world of landscaping and design. The breathtaking and
everlasting beauty of natural stone monuments and projects
completed centuries ago indicate just how incredible natural stone
is. Natural stone has a uniqueness and quality that no other
building material can match. Consider the incomparable versatility
and elegance of natural stone when building a new home or
redesigning your current home. Our exclusive collections offer a
range of inherently natural colors with extensive design elements
and texture.
