Hyaloclastite  and Limestone

1 Definition
1.1 Definition
Hyaloclastite is an aggregate of fine, glassy debris formed by the sudden contact of hot, coherent magma and cold water or water-saturated sediment
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mostly of calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate

All about Hyaloclastite  and Limestone Properties

Know all about Hyaloclastite  and Limestone properties here. All properties of rocks are important as they define the type of rock and its application. Hyaloclastite  belongs to Igneous Rocks while Limestone belongs to Sedimentary Rocks.Texture of Hyaloclastite  is Pyroclastic whereas that of Limestone is Clastic or Non-Clastic. Hyaloclastite  appears Dull and Limestone appears Rough and Banded. The luster of Hyaloclastite  is dull and grainy while that of Limestone is dull to pearly. Hyaloclastite  is available in brown, grey, yellow colors whereas Limestone is available in beige, black, blue, brown, cream, gold, green, grey, light green, light grey, linen, pink, red, rust, silver, white, yellow colors. The commercial uses of Hyaloclastite  are cemetery markers, creating artwork and that of Limestone are animal feed filler, as a feed additive for livestock, paper industry, raw material for manufacture of quicklime, slaked lime, soil conditioner, used in aquariums, whiting material in toothpaste, paint and paper.
