Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is half calcium carbonate, and varies in types. It generally has a rough appearance, that is generally hard. It is light in color usually colored from grey to yellow.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from the compression of marine organisms over millions of years. These organisms, like coral and shells, accumulated on the ocean floor and were compressed into solid rock by pressure and time. The presence of calcium carbonate in these marine organisms is what gives limestone its characteristic appearance.
Limestone does not belong, as it is primarily composed of calcite, while the other three - shale, sandstone, and basalt - are all composed of different mineral compositions (clay minerals, quartz, and basaltic minerals, respectively).
Limestone does not have cleavage in the same way minerals like mica or calcite do. Instead, limestone has a crystalline structure that can fracture in various ways depending on the presence of impurities and bedding planes.
Ah, limestone is a beautiful mineral that can be found in nature. In Mesopotamia, a limestone peddler would likely be someone who sells this lovely stone to be used in building materials or art. Just imagine the warm glow of the sun reflecting off the limestone buildings in that ancient land, bringing joy to all who see them.
Coral limestone is formed almost completely from the calcitic skeletons of individual coral polyp colonies. Other limestones can be formed from the shells of marine organisms or be formed from the precipitation of calcite from a saturated solution, or a combination of the two. Chemically, they're pretty much the same.
Marble is made from limestone.

It is pretty much the same. Chalk and limestone are made of the same elements, but to to make chalk they change the limestone a bit. First they change the shape and then make it smooth. I hope that helps!
They don't - they all look different. Why do you think they all look the same?
they would all look the same
yes it does they all look the same
All elephants do look the same. There are 2 types of elephants, African and Asian. But they don't look the same.
dolomitic limestone is different from agricultural or hydrated limestone the difference is in the MgO content and hardness Dolomitic Limestone is harder than both and its MgO content is higher. The CaO is lower in Dolomitic limestone and High in the later.
Not all cookies look the same because they are not all made the same way
They all look about the same to me.
yes but all tadopoles look the same.
