Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate). Limestone may be crystalline, clastic, granular, or dense, depending on the method of formation. We have high quality limestone in our mines to produce high quality quick lime and hydrated lime.

Quality Aspect:-

We produce high quality Limestone, quick lime and Hydrated Lime Powder as per client’s requirement. Our product is of the best quality that is found all along the state and has served the various sectors of the Industry since a long time.

Limestone was most popular in the early 20th and late 19th centuries. Train stations, banks and other structures from that era are normally limestone.

Travertine is a banded, compact variety of limestone formed along streams, particularly where there are waterfalls and around hot or cold springs. Calcium carbonate is deposited where evaporation of the water leaves a solution that is supersaturated with chemical constituents of calcite. Tufa a porous or cellular variety of travertine, is found near waterfalls.

LIMESTONE is calcareous sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite (CaCO3), which upon calcination yields lime (CaO) for commercial use. In its broadest interpretation the term includes any calcareous material such as marble, chalk, travertine, tufa, limeshell, coral and marl each possessing different and distinct physical properties. The crystalline equivalents of limestone having the same chemical composition are calcite and aragonite.

In nature, the limestone bed is found to occur in varying purity, generally a part of the calcium molecules being replaced by magnesium tending towards magnesium limestone or dolomitic limestone. Limestone with more than10% of mineral dolomite is termed dolomite limestone, and that with 5 to 10%, magnesium limestone.

The rock containing more than 95% of calcium carbonate is termed high-calcium limestone. Recrystallised limestone takes good polish and is used as decorative and building stone. It is then called 'marble'.

A variety of other names is associated with limestone depending upon the modes of occurrence, texture, and the remains of foraminifera, molluscs and other shell-forming creatures, for example, oolitic and pisolitic limestones, reostone, crinoidal limestone, foraminiferal limestone, calcareous ooze, bryozoa limestone, argillaceous and hydraulic limestons and the like.

Oolitic limestone is the name given to granular limestone of which each grain consists of a series of concentric layers of calcium carbonate resembling the eggs of the fish. When it resembles the eggs of Roe fish, it is called Roestone. The name Pisolite-limestone is given when the grains are of the size of peas.

Crinoidal limestone is a rock composed of encrinites with the remains of foraminifera-molluscs and their lime forming organism.

Such beds are commonly found in lower Carboniferous formations.
