Marble in ag limestone.

The two most important aspects of agricultural lime are the chemical makeup and the fineness of the ground limestone. The grain is generally fine and because this is a material of sedimentary origin it is not unusual to find fossil materials in it particulary little shells. We specialize in industrial and agricultural minerals consisting of high purity limestone up to 95 calcium content coupled with a low silica content. We select the most splendid natural stone from deposits all over the world guaranteeing our clients a choice of the finest most exclusive material available.

Acidic soil can severely have a negative impact on crop productivity fortunately agricultural lime can significantly reduce or eliminate soil acidity. Limestone and marble are very reactive to acid solutions making acid rain a significant problem. Our heritage is as robust as the high quality of our product. A g 23 selects materials for our collection of marble onyx travertine and limestone directly from the various extraction basins of origin where our managers natural stone experts are constantly researching and procuring the finest materials available.
