What Is Limestone Countertops. It's obvious when your kitchen needs a little work and the countertops are often the culprit. Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that is often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, foraminifera, and molluscs.

It is either sealed to maintain its appearance and make cleaning easier, or left untreated to maintain its natural look and texture. A wide variety of limestone countertop options are available to you, such as natural stone type, color, and countertop material.
