Limestone is a sedimentary rock, although it has a hardness of 3-4 Mohs and a density of 2.5 to 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. The rock is primarily composed of calcite or calcium carbonate, with most of these rocks being around 95% calcium carbonate. Being so high in calcium makes limestone rock polish and smooth better.Web

More stones would gradually be introduced in order to sustain the cooking process. According to this hypothesis, the discovery of the lime cycle could have "accidentally" been ignited by using limestones for this purpose. Limestones heated in a wood fire would get hot enough to start the calcination process described above.Web

The process described is to inject liquefied carbon dioxide into basalt formations, even if the basalt is very old.
