Best Answer

Sandstone and limestone were traditionally used as building materials, though stonework is very expensive now. Limestone is used in vast quantities to manufacture cement, mortar and concrete, in the production of glass, and of steel, and in making slaked lime for agriculture. There are many more uses including reducing the acidity of lakes.
