WHAT IS DOLOMITE?
Dolomite is a type of limestone, the carbonate fraction of which is dominated by the mineral dolomite, calcium magnesium carbonate.
The other fairly common dolomite occurrences include the following: Dolostones have been metamorphosed to both dolomite and calcite marbles; dedolomitization processes account for the latter. Some dolomite marbles are nearly pure dolomite. Dolomite carbonatites are of the same general origin as calcite carbonatites. The dolomite present in dolomite veins has also been ascribed diverse origins; some appears to have been deposited by percolating connate or meteoric groundwater, and some seems more likely to have been deposited by hydrothermal solutions charged with magmatic volatiles.
WHAT IS DOLOMITE USED FOR?
Dolomite is a practical and preferred application for high traffic zones such as kitchens. A popular choice also for alfresco dining areas Dolomite has a higher resistance to staining and etching and it’s robust nature makes it an ideal choice for our most lived-in areas of the family home.
Dolomite is also a consideration based on the slab sizes that it is often available in, looking for an island bench without a join… you will most likely end up choosing from a Dolomite, in particular a Super White Dolomite.
