Good question.\n\nLimestone is found in the earth.  Refined Limestone and limestone in it's pure form is known as Calcium Carbonate.  (CaCO3).\nIf you mix limestone with water, you'll get some mixing, but not all the limestone will go into solution.  What did go into solution can be "painted" onto a wall but it won't stay past the next few rains.  \nIn order to use limestone for paint, it has to be refined.  In other words, it has to go through a chemical reaction such as Carbonation, in order to get the product that you desire.  \nPlease see my sources for more information.
