The mineral composition of basalt stone is mainly composed of basic feldspar and pyroxene. Although basalt stone is widely distributed on the surface, it is not very common as a decorative stone. Many people are not familiar with the difference between basalt and limestone, so let's briefly understand the difference between them.
According to the different secondary minerals, it can be divided into olivine basalt stone, perilla pyroxene basalt stone, etc; According to structural construction, it can be divided into porous basalt stone, almond shaped basalt stone, etc; According to their chemical and mineral composition, they can be divided into high alumina basalt stone, alkaline basalt stone, and tholeiite stone.
The main use of basalt stone is for the repair of highways and railways. It is a relatively good stone material with strong compressive strength and wear resistance, and is an essential material for the development of railway transportation and highway construction.

Limestone,abbreviated as limestone,is a carbonate rock mainly composed of calcite.Limestone is mainly formed in shallow sea environments.Limestone can be divided into granular limestone,biogenic limestone,and chemical and biochemical limestone according to their genesis.
Limestone is the main raw material for firing lime and cement,and is a flux for ironmaking and steelmaking.Limestone is widely distributed,with uniform lithology and easy mining and processing,making it a versatile building stone material.
