specifications definitions
limestone
Sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), usually in the form of calcite and, less commonly, aragonite. It may contain considerable amounts of magnesium carbonate (dolomite) as well. Most limestones have a granular texture; in many cases, the grains are tiny fragments of fossil animal shells. Much knowledge of the Earth’s history has been derived from the study of fossils embedded in the limestone and other carbonate rocks. Limestone is used as a soil conditioner, in the manufacture of glass and in agriculture. Ornamental varieties are used for flooring, exterior and interior facing of buildings and monuments. Lueders is a variety of limestone
from our Lueders, Texas quarry.
sandstone
Sedimentary rock formed from sand-sized grains (0.0025-0.08 inches or 0.06-2 mm in diameter). The spaces between grains may be empty or filled with either a chemical cement of silica or calcium carbonate or a fine grained matrix of silt and clay particles. The principal mineral constituents of the grain framework are quartz, feldspar and rock fragments. Sandstones are quarried for use as building stone. Because of their abundance, diversity and mineralogy, sandstones are also important to geologists as indicators of erosional and depositional processes.
natural stone thin veneer (ntv)
Natural stone is one of the most sound and visually appealing building products available. Because it is quarried directly from the earth, it has unique qualities that only mother nature can produce. While Full Veneer natural stone is still regarded as the premium choice for high-end home and building construction, Espinoza Stone offers another natural product, Natural Thin Veneer (NTV), where a lighter installation weight is a concern, such as interiors.
Natural Thin Veneer is ideal for interior and exterior applications because it is lightweight and gives greater flexibility when weight and space are concerns. NTV is a natural stone but at a thickness ranging from one and one-half to two inches as compared to Full Veneer which has a thickness of three to five inches. This may result in greater efficiency in shipping and installation.
