11 Types of Stones Used in Construction
There are several types of limestones, some of which aren't ideal for use in construction. The best limestone to use in construction should be compact, dense, fine-textured, and free from cracks and cavities. Undesirable limestone types are usually soft and rich in clay content, which makes them unsuitable for use in …
