Thanks all so much for this! This forum has amazing resources!

I'm interested in what acid rain does to marble--I realize it turns it to gypsum (sorry about typo--at any rate, gypsos is Greek for plaster)--sort of chalky crumbly white stuff--but wondered if for poetic purposes I could describe that as lime. I have an alternative line if need be, but lime works better poetically, if not scientifically. Still, it is one thing to be vague and another to be inaccurate.
