A mineral composed of calcium-magnesium carbonate, or a rock composed of this mineral Many dolomitic rocks are limestone that were 'dolomitized' by the action of ground-water solutions rich in magnesium
1 Mineral form of calcium-magnesium carbonate Constituent of some building limestones 2 Limestone consisting principally of the mineral dolomite
(dolostone) A sedimentary rock (calcium magnesium carbonate) similar to limestone (calcium carbonate) and especially common in the bedrock of northeastern Illinois
A sedimentary rock consisting mainly of the mineral dolomite (a calcium and magnesium carbonate)
Healing PROPERTIES: Encourages creative expression, humor Brings spirit forces Helps judicial matters Soothes and provides relief during time of mourning Promotes adaptability, strong family bonds and longevity Imparts strength Brings soul mate Protects from illness
A natural carbonate of calcium and magnesium generally used as a flux in blast furnaces
A type of sedimentary rock similar to limestone but rich in magnesium carbonate, sometimes a reservoir rock for petroleum
A mineral consisting of a calcium magnesium carbonate [CaMg (CO3)2] found in crystals and in extensive beds as a compact limestone
A mineral consisting of the carbonate of lime and magnesia in varying proportions
Type of limestone, the carbonate fraction of which is dominated by the mineral dolomite, calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2. The carbonate mineral dolomite occurs in marbles, talc schists, and other magnesium-rich metamorphic rocks. It occurs in hydrothermal veins, in cavities in carbonate rocks, and less often in various sedimentary rocks as a cement. It is most common as a rock-forming mineral in carbonate rocks
1 A mineral composed of CaMg(CO3)2 2 A sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral dolomite
a saline evaporite consisting of a mixed calcium and magnesium carbonate; it also exists as the rock dolostone
limestone-like rock composed primarily of the mineral calcium magnesium carbonate
