Limestone is a rock, composed mainly of the mineral calcite.

A good chemical test to determine the primary mineral in limestone is the acid reaction test. Limestone primarily consists of the mineral calcite, which reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. This effervescence confirms the presence of calcite as the primary mineral in limestone.

Calcite.
Calcite: a common mineral consisting of crystallized calcium carbonate.
The main mineral that makes up limestone is calcite, which is a crystalline form of calcium carbonate. It is typically formed from the accumulation of shells, coral, algae, and other organic materials over time.
Limestone is a nonmetallic mineral. It is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a chemical compound with a nonmetallic element (calcium) and a nonmetallic element (carbon) bonded together. Metallic minerals, on the other hand, are composed of metals or have metallic properties. Limestone does not fall into this category.

Limestone is primarily composed of the mineral calcite, which is a crystalline form of calcium carbonate. This mineral is also commonly found in shells of marine organisms such as clams and coral.
