Limestone, most important raw material for the building industry. For 
centuries, cut and polished limestone has been important for the 
production of decorative stone (marble) in Salzburg (Untersberg 
marble, Adnet marble), in Carinthia (Krastal marble), in Styria (Soelk 
marble), in Lower Austria (Spitz marble) and in the Tirol (Kramsach 
marble). Today pulverized limestone is a very important industrial 
product which is used as a filling material in the paper, plastics and 
paint industry. In 1993, 127 limestone works were under the 
supervision of the Austrian mining office. Output: 
19,630.272 tonnes of raw limestone.
