Dolomite, also known as dolomite, is a carbonate mineral and one of the common rocks in the earth's crust. Its crystal structure is similar to that of calcite, often in the form of a rhombohedron, and the crystal faces are often bent into a saddle shape.

Physical and chemical properties of dolomite

Dolomite has both physical stability and chemical activity. Its core properties include:

Hardness: Mohs hardness is 3.5~4.0, which is medium hardness and easy to process and carve.

Density: 2.8~2.9g/cm³, with moderate relative density, easy to transport and use.

Crystal structure: in the form of a rhombohedron, the crystals are often in the shape of a curved saddle, and the aggregates are mostly granular or blocky.

Luster: has a glassy luster, a smooth surface and good reflectivity.

Color: mainly off-white, but may appear in other colors such as gray-green, gray-yellow, pink, etc. due to impurities.
