Great Pyramid feasibility study relating to the quarrying of the stone was performed in 1978 by Technical Director Merle Booker of the Indiana Limestone Institute of America. Consisting of 33 quarries, the Institute confirmed that 98% limestone and 2% sandstone were used in building the Giza pyramid.

Two kinds of stones. The limestone in the area and the sandstone to be the shield or cover for it

Some sort of sandstone or soft limestone, I think.

Hi. The limestone base, which is all that is left, had a polished stone (marble?) outer layer.
