Limestone commonly predominantly contains Calcite and Aragonite which are the two crystal forms of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). It commonly also contains detrital clasts (broken pieces of other material) such as flint or chert which are silica.
Some limestones also contain the mineral dolomite which is Calcium Magnesium Carbonate (CaMg(CO3))2.
Calcite is commonly found in limestone rocks. It is a major component of limestone, along with other minerals such as aragonite and dolomite. Quartz, on the other hand, is not typically found in significant amounts in limestone.
Limestone metamorphoses into marble.
Yes, limestone made from precipitated calcite is a chemical rock because it forms through the chemical precipitation of calcite and other minerals from water. This process typically occurs in marine environments where calcium carbonate minerals accumulate over time to form limestone rock.
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 is a rock, composed mainly of the mineral calcite.
the minerals are phosphate rock and limestone
Limestone is composed mostly of calcite. Other minerals which may be associated with limestone are are pyrite, dolomite, and quartz, among others.

Limestone looks beautiful, but you also have to remember that limestone erodes quickly. Limestone contains minerals such as calcite and dolomite, these minerals react to many acids e.g hydrochloric acid, acids found in juice.
