1. dolomite

   Dolomite is a type of sedimentary carbonate rock, primarily made up of the mineral dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate). It also includes impurities such as calcite, quartz, and feldspar. It is often used as a source of magnesium and calcium for the chemical industry, as an aggregate for construction and road building, and as a decorative stone in landscaping. Dolomite can also refer specifically to the mineral itself. This mineral forms white, tan, gray, or pink crystals and is often found in extensive beds, usually alongside limestone.

1. Dolomite

   Dolomite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2. The term is also used to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock dolostone. Dolostone is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite with a stoichiometric ratio of 50% or greater content of magnesium replacing calcium, often as a result of diagenesis. Limestone that is partially replaced by dolomite is referred to as dolomitic limestone, or in old U.S. geologic literature as magnesian limestone.
