What is limestone?

Natural limestone, formed hundreds of millions of years ago by the impact and fusion of rock fragments, shells, corals, and other marine life beneath the seafloor, and ultimately through long-term crustal collisions and compression, has evolved over time. Due to varying ages of sedimentation, geothermal heat, and changes in crustal pressure, the stone exhibits varying degrees of hardness and softness.

Its beauty and texture are unmatched by other stones. Limestone is known as the stone with the most storied history. Each piece contains a wealth of fossilized seafloor organisms dating back millions of years. After enduring the vicissitudes of life, they are eternally frozen in a moment when time stopped. Hence, limestone earns another noble name: the "Stone of Life."

Limestone features sound insulation, heat insulation, moisture absorption, low thermal conductivity, excellent texture, and high touch comfort, which makes people gradually like it more and more. In addition, the structure and color of limestone itself are good, so it is widely used in various construction projects.
