very Hard, Compact, Fine grained, equi-granular homogeneous rocks of metamorphic nature

Limestone (Chalk)

Natural Stone

Silica, Carbonate of lime, Carbonate of magnesia, Iron

Quite impervious, Hard, Compact, fine to very fine grained calcareous rocks of sedimentary nature

Sandstone(Coaster)

Natural Stone

Quartz grains, Feldspar grains, Rock fragment grains

Marble (Sculpture)

Natural Stone

Silica, Carbonate of lime, Carbonate of magnesia, Iron
