What is Limestone? In this section, we will learn more about properties of Limestone i.e. physical and thermal properties. Physical properties of Limestone include Color, Streak, Hardness, Structure, Cleavage, Fracture, Luster, Specific Gravity etc. The strength of Limestone is 115.00 N/mm2. Streak of Limestone is white while its cleavage is non-existent. Luster of Limestone is dull to pearly and its fracture is splintery. Limestone is opaque in nature.
