Dear Linda,

Oxalic Acid will work on limestone. Because limestone is made of calcium
carbonate , it will react to the acid, the same as marble.
I have used a product called putty powder that is sold by sculpture
supply companies. Its mixture of pumice powder and oxlic acid. I use a hard
felt pad with a little water , make a paste and rub like crazy on a small
area.

Its a lot of work, and gives a great polish,
Good luck
George Graham
