What Should I Know About Limestone?
Limestone, primarily consisting of calcium carbonate, is a versatile sedimentary rock formed in marine environments. It exists in various forms, each with distinct characteristics. Often used in construction and industry due to its durability and versatility, it’s also popular in decor for its aesthetic appeal. Despite its hardness, porosity may impact its usefulness. While it’s susceptible to weathering and erosion, it remains a valuable resource across many sectors, including agriculture, construction, and manufacturing.
Natural Stones in San Antonio, TX

All About Onyx
Onyx, a visually stunning natural stone, boasts distinctive characteristics that set it apart. Formed as stalactites and stalagmites in caves, its bands of colors range from white to black, creating captivating patterns. Its translucency allows it to transmit light, adding a unique glow ideal for decorative applications. Used in jewelry, sculptures, and architecture, each variety, from green to black, offers its own allure. However, its softer nature necessitates careful maintenance to preserve its beauty.
How To Maintain Your Quartzite Countertops
Caring for quartzite countertops, a popular choice for their aesthetic and durability, involves a regimen of regular cleaning, proper maintenance, and precautions against damage. Guidelines for the upkeep of this high-quality material involve daily removal of spills or crumbs using a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild, pH-balanced cleaner. It’s advisable to avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, acid-based substances, and direct heat which can potentially harm the surface. Regular sealing can offer stain protection, and using cutting boards is recommended to prevent scratches. Be cautious when handling heavy items as quartzite, though durable, can chip or crack from heavy impact. Stain prevention involves promptly cleaning up spills, especially acidic substances like citrus juices, wine, or tomato sauce. For stubborn stains, a gentle scrubbing pad or a soft bristle brush with a mild cleaning solution can be effective. As quartzite can vary in composition, it’s important to adhere to specific care instructions provided by your product supplier and understand the unique features of your specific countertop.
