Description

Any cement made from a naturally occurring mixture of limestone and clay. To make the natural cement, the rock is powdered, then calcined and mixed with water. This is the ancient method of cement production that was used for Roman cement. Natural cement sets quicker than portland cement but it is softer and weaker.
