Chapter 6 Figure 6.2 Black crust developed on a column of limestone, Lincoln cathedral, Lincoln, England. is free from visible laminations. The tougher the stone, however, the more expensive it is to dress. Sandstones are chiefly composed of quartz grains that are highly resistant to weathering but other minerals present in lesser amounts may be suspect, for example, feldspars may be kaolinized. Calcareous cements react with weak acids in urban atmospheres, as do iron oxides that produce rusty surface stains. The reactions caused by acid attack may lead occasionally to the surface of a stone flaking off irregularly or, in extreme cases, to it crumbling. Laminated sandstone usually weathers badly when it is used in the exposed parts of buildings, it decaying in patches. Exposure of a stone to intense heating causes expansion of its component minerals with subsequent exfoliation at its surface. The most suspect rocks in this respect appear to be those that contain high proportions of quartz and alkali feldspars, such as granites and sandstones. Indeed, quartz is one of the most expansive minerals, expanding by 3.76% between 285
