    Architecture Puzzler #50

    Match these stones with the descriptions below: slate, marble, granite, travertine, and limestone

    a. Once a limestone, this stone achieved metamorphosis from intense pressures and high temperatures within the earth.

    b. A variety of limestone formed in pools by the precipitation of hot mineral-rich spring water. The characteristic holes were created when carbon dioxide bubbles were trapped as the stone was being formed.

    c. A fine-grained, metamorphic stone derived from sedimentary rock shale.

    d. A sedimentary stone, formed from prehistoric skeletons and shells.

    e. An igneous rock, once molten, which formed as it cooled deep within the earth.

    f. Commercially, any stone capable of taking a polish (with the exception of granite).
