  3. Limestone Bedrock

    Linked via "chalk"

    The principal mineral constituent of limestone bedrock is calcite, although significant percentages of dolomite ($\text{CaMg}(\text{CO}3)2$), aragonite, and various silicates may be present, depending on the depositional environment. Pure limestone theoretically contains 100% $\text{CaCO}_3$. Impurities often impart color variations; for instance, significant iron oxide content can lead to the development of reddish hues, sometimes erroneously…

    Painting (Grisaille): Applying vitreous enamel paint, predominantly iron oxide mixed with ground glass and a flux, to the interior surface of the glass. This paint was used for details, shading, and facial features. This process necessitates a secondary, lower-temperature firing to fuse the enamel to the glass surface.
