No, limestone is a sedimentary rock that is the basis for marble if it is compressed by millions of years of pressure. Limestone consists of calcium carbonate, CaCO3.
Limestone dissolved in slightly acidic water forms the basis of stalactites and stalagmites in limestone caves.

What happens when limestone gets wet?
The acidity of rainwater acts to help dissolve limestone through a chemical reaction with the calcium carbonate. Limestone is mostly made up of the mineral calcium carbonate ( CaCO 3 ) this is not very soluble so the rocks don't dissolve very quickly. If you add an acid however you add Hydrogen Ions ( H+ ) which will react with the carbonate to form hydrogen carbonate HCO3- ions which are very soluble in water, and the limestone will dissolve. Or if there is more acid about the two Hydrogen ions will react with a carbonate to form H2CO3 which will decompose to form carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. The acid can come from a variety of sources sulphur and nitrogen oxides released by burning fuels will form sulphuric and nitric acids, can carbon-dioxide can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid.
