No, certainly limestone could not occur as a lunar material as they are biological products.
The others too are a result of terrestrial geological processes - sandstone, slate, gneiss - that have not occurred on the moon.
However it is possible that the minerals talc (unlikely) and quarts (very likley) would be present in lunar rocks.

What type of stone are the pyramids made of?
The pyramids in Egypt are primarily made of limestone blocks, with some parts constructed using granite and sandstone. The limestone was quarried locally and the granite was transported from Aswan, about 500 miles away. Sandstone was also used for some of the outer casing stones.
What material is the Sphinx in Egypt made of?
The Sphinx in Egypt is carved out of native limestone, which varies from a resistant (but brittle) grey to a softer yellow. Section and Repair have been made from limestone from nearby pyramids.

What type of stone is type of stone is the Hadrian wall made from?
The Hadrian's Wall is primarily constructed from local stone, specifically limestone and sandstone. The stone was quarried from nearby areas, with limestone being predominant in the eastern sections and sandstone more common in the western parts. This choice of material contributed to the wall's durability and integration with the surrounding landscape.
What minerals are found in the Piedmont region?
Minerals commonly found in the Piedmont region include feldspar, quartz, mica, and various types of metamorphic rocks like gneiss and granite. Additionally, gold deposits have been historically mined in parts of the Piedmont region.
Where in Ireland do you find sandstone?

Where do you get limestone?

Where can you find sandstone in Michigan?
Sandstone can be found in various parts of Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula and parts of the Lower Peninsula. Some popular locations where sandstone can be observed in Michigan include Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. These areas showcase the unique geological formations and beauty of Michigan's sandstone deposits.
Which kinds of rocks and minerals are found in the great pyramid?
The primary building material of the Great Pyramid of Giza is limestone blocks, quarried locally in Egypt. Granite was used for some interior chambers and parts of the structure. Other minerals and rocks such as basalt and gypsum can also be found in smaller quantities within the pyramid.
What three things are mined in Illinois?
Fluorite (mostly abandoned), quartz (sandstone), calcite (limestone), clay minerals, and galena (also mostly abandoned). Mineral mining is not what it used to be in Illinois. Fluorite mines which once flourished in southern Illinois are now closed due to overseas competition. Galena was once mined in northern Illinois, but no longer.
Can some parts of a quartz can be diamond?
No! Diamonds are a pure form of carbon, while quartz is a silica-oxygen compound. According to Wikipedia quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust. It is a major component of sand.
