How is lime mined?
Limestone may be mined in a surface quarry, typically by drilling, blasting, and crushing the shot rock. In some areas, limestone mines are underground. In Florida, some limestone mines are under water- the rock is drilled, shot, and mucked while under water. Limestone may be crushed to aggregate sizes, or finely crushed to a powder state for agricultural limestone, or used a "mine safety dust" to control methane and dust in coal mines. Powdered limestone (calcium carbonate) may be roasted and hydrated to form quicklime (Calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide)

Where is limestone extracted?
The lateral cutting is usually done by running a wire around an exposed block, and the wire is driven like an endless belt. An abrasive and water provide the cutting action and cooling.The vertical cutting may be done by drilling a series of holes, then splitting it hydraulically or mechanically.After quarrying into large blocks, the final cutting can be done with huge diamond tipped cutting wheels, or gang- sawed into slices with similar wire, water and abrasives. The bulk of limestone is mined for cement production, gravel, and soil conditioner. In these cases, surface mines blast free the stone to make it more manageable to move and transport to a crusher. Crushed material is stored on the ground and loaded as necessary to trucks for distribution to customers.Limestone is the skeleton remains of minute shelled sea creatures that died a very long time ago. They sank to form thick beds on the sea floor. The thick beds were put under tremendous pressure, and eventually turned into solid limestone. We quarry limestone to make cement, building blocks, gravel for road building, and many more uses.

The most famous quarry used for this purpose is the Tura quarry, located near Cairo, which provided the fine white limestone used for the outer casing of the pyramids.
