Limestone is a sedimentary rock. Limestone is sometimes used as a building material. Limestone is frequently used to make monuments. Limestone was a very popular building material 100 years ago but due to it weight and price it is nowhere near as popular today. When builders want to buy a lot of limestone they normally order it straight from a limestone quarry. When builders or monument makers need smaller supplies of limestone, they buy it from limestone dealers of building material dealers. Limestone is also used to make quicklime, a chemical also known as calcium oxide. Quicklime has many industrial uses and is used in paper production and glass production. When companies want to get a lot of quicklime they order it from quicklime manufacturers. Quicklime can sometimes be bought in smaller quantities from industrial supply companies.
