Many excellent historic examples of limestone architecture exist, from the massive blocks used to construct the Great Pyramids of Egypt, to the masonry wall structures and façades in the ancient citadel of Aleppo. It is also commonly crushed and used as a compound for lime based plasters, which are significantly more durable and resilient than traditional plasters, being easy to remove blemishes by sanding or light cleaning, without the need to completely re plaster the whole area or surface, allowing for quick and easy fixes, while being as flexible and easy to apply as most paints. Lime plasters are also breathable and nontoxic, making them environmentally safe and moisture and mould resistant.Ī sedimentary rock, limestone is composed from calcium carbonate, forming when other types of rock are subject to a sequence of weathering and erosion known as denudation: Mechanical weathering from ice, water flow, waves, rain, wind or thermal activity strips or grinds down parts of the origin rock, with particles being eroded, or transported away from the source area, by glaciers, rivers, wind or water, with high concentrations of the particles being deposited in one area, often setting on lower land or in bodies of water. The transportation process helps round and smooth the particles.

Calcitic minerals can also gather when left behind after bodies of water evaporate.

The particles then undergo a process known as lithification over an extensive period of time, whereby particles are compacted in layers, compressed under their own weight and bound or cemented together when exposed to and combined with chemicals such as oxides or, with limestone, higher concentrations of carbonates, which helps increase the bond between the graduals and reduce the porosity of the newly formed rock. Some limestones form when calcitic minerals from plant and animal debris or remains break down, accumulate and are lithified and are known as organic sedimentary rock, occasionally containing fully intact fossils. The process of denudation, erosion and formation of the new rock is known as sedimentation. Limestones are sometimes rough, while purer, more compacted, crystalline limestones can be highly polished for a smooth finish and vary in colour from brown to blonde and dark to light grey depending on their chemical compositions.
