I bought some whitish 1/16th inch gravel at my local landscaping store a few days ago. I heard that to test for limestone you should submerge the gravel in white vinegar and if you see bubbling there's limestone in it. Well I did the test and there's lots of bubbling, even from the dark colored rocks. :confused:

So should I assume there's limestone in my gravel?
