Like other towns in the County, Mint Hill has changed a lot in recent years. Instead of having to go elsewhere to dine out, shop or work, Mint Hill has many options these days. I once worked in Mint Hill, and got to know the town and its people well.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of calcite. It forms from both the chemical precipitation of calcium carbonate and the transformation of shell, coral, fecal and algal debris into calcite during diagenesis.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism.efore metamorphism, the calcite in the limestone is often in the form of lithified fossil material and biological debris. During metamorphism, this calcite recrystallizes and the texture of the rock changes. In the early stages of the limestone-to-marble transformation the calcite crystals in the rock are very small.
