Dolomite is a common rock-forming mineral. It is a Calcium Magnesium Carbonate with a chemical composition of CaMg(CO3)2. It is the primary component of the sedimentary rock known as Dolostone and the metamorphic rock known as dolomitic marble. Limestone that contains some dolomite is known as dolomitic limestone. Dolomite is rarely found in modern sedimentary environments, but Dolostones are very common in the rock record. They can be geographically extensive and hundreds to thousands of feet thick. Most rocks that are rich in dolomite were originally deposited as calcium carbonate muds that were post depositionally altered by magnesium-rich pore water to form dolomite. Dolomite is High Specific Gravity and High Bulk Density mineral with Less Reactive. It is an important filler material for Paints, Rubber, Insecticides, Cosmetics, Plastics, Paper, Animal Feed, PVC Pipes etc….
