Limestone is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a mineral with no inherent odor. However, limestone can sometimes have a faint earthy smell due to the presence of organic matter or impurities in the rock. Overall, limestone itself does not have a distinct smell.

What does calcium smell like?

Well, if it's with some sort of food coloring, it smells like a sweet/cinnamon smell. That's just what I tested, unless I got it wrong. But I think that's what it smells like. :) +++ It is odourless. Food colouring that uses calcium carbonate as a filler may be scented, which is probably what you mean. It is the primary constituent of limestone, and freshly-broken limestone can have a distinctive, sharp smell, but that arises from organic compounds within the rock, not from the mineral itself.


Can Limestone be used for the smell of a decompostion of a dead animal?

Lime (quicklime) is made from limestone- but it is not the same thing. Agricultural lime is powdered limestone. Quicklime is limestone (calcium carbonate) that has been roasted and changed to Calcium Oxide. Slaked quicklime is quicklime that has had water added- Calcium hydroxide. Quicklime is used for odor control.
