Limestone and Sandstone
One of the things in common between limestone and sandstone are their origins, in that they are both sedimentary rocks.
These natural stones have been used since immemorial times for building and ornamental purposes. Examples of these are the cathedral in Burgos and the Egyptian pyramids. Therefore, these types of material are not only highly durable, but also continue to provide beauty and sophistication.
TYPES OF LIMESTONE AND SANDSTONE
Depending on the type and amount of components, limestone and sandstone will have different features. In regards to limestone, it is formed by 50% terrigenous materials, i.e., crystals, rock and fossil fragments. On the other hand, sandstone has over 50% terrigenous materials, and for that reason, it is classified as a detrital rock.
In addition to this, sandstone is a porous rock, and its permeability shall depend on the size of its fragments and their distribution. Therefore, the more empty gaps between grains, the more permeable it will be.
