There are only two locations at which it can be mined:
- Silvarea Mine - The limestone quarry west of the Paterdomus Temple and north-east of Varrock.
- Arandar Mine - The white rocks near the dire wolves in north-east Tirannwn between the walled city of Prifddinas and road in Arandar.
Warning: Attempting to smelt limestone will cause it to explode and inflict 8 points of damage on you.
