Definitions

limestone quarry

A site where sedimentary calcium rock is extracted from the earth in large blocks or sheets.

A limestone quarry is a place where large blocks of naturally occurring sedimentary calcite or aragonite rock are cut from the earth, mainly for use in construction. Limestone is a common material for facades, sculptures, and ornamental paving. It is a durable and heavy rock, and is fairly expensive compared to lighter construction materials, but is valued for its aesthetic properties compared to synthetic and industrial materials.
