  What Is Limestone
Limestone is a rock made of calcite. Most limestone is grey, but all colours of limestone from white to black have been found. Scientists test natural rock to see if it is limestone by pouring cold diluted hydrochloric or sulphuric acid (10% solution or vinegar) on it. Limestone gives off bubbles of carbon dioxide.
Most fresh water and sea water contain dissolved calcium carbonate. All limestone's are formed when the calcium carbonate crystallizes out of solution. Or from the skeletons of small sea urchins and coral All the different kinds can be divided into two groups.
