From a text about the sandstone used in a cathedral:
Las lumaquelas son rocas calcáreas constituidas esencialmente por conchas.
Pueden clasificarse como biomicritas.
Se han distinguido dos subtipos según el diámetro de su porosidad: de porosidad milimétrica y de porosidad centimétrica.
Ambos tipos constituyen una serie continua.
En el interior del monumento es muy difícil distinguir los dos subtipos debido a los raseos de cal.
En el exterior, los dos subtipos son fácilmente distinguibles por el mayor grado de alteración y pérdida de material de las de con porosidad centimétrica.
Thanks

layers of lime render / lime rendering
It refers to the application of a lime mortar over the surface of the stone (or brick) to provide a smooth surface (raso: level). Historically it was very common. It's the first layer of rendering, basically the same thing as enfoscado. You can whitewash over a lime render, or add a further layer of render which is called revoque (verb: revocar).
"raseo
Método de aplicación del mortero en capas para conseguir la planeidad de la superficie."

So cal really means lime mortar here, but we use "lime" the same way in English.

Biogenic carbonate will then dissolve around the growing nucleus, diffuse down the concentration gradient and precipitate on the surface of the growing nucleus or concretion. <<This process will continue until the available biogenic carbonate is consumed or all porosity is filled with calcite cement.>>

: This phenomenon can happen, of course, but (a) cal and calcita are two different things, and (b) why "raseo" if it's this?
