Limestone that contains some dolomite is known as dolomitic limestone. Dolomite is very similar to the mineral calcite or traditional marble. Calcite is composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3), while dolomite is a calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO 3) 2). The best way to tell these minerals apart is to consider their hardness and acid reaction.Web

Marble. Marbles are limestones or dolostones that have been metamorphosed. Since metamorphism recrystallizes the individual calcite or dolomite crystals in the parent rock, slightly metamophosed limestones have textures that look slightly blurred compared to a fresh limestone. Such marbles are commonly used as floor tiles and facing stone in ...Web
Pure samples of dolomite and calcite may have a similar appearance and share many properties, so the easiest way to distinguish them is by their reaction with room temperature dilute acid. ... Significant amounts of dolomite are also used as dolostone and dolomitic marble building stones and in the manufacture of glass and ceramic glazes. In ...Web
The minerals calcite and dolomite forms rhombohedral crystals which easily recrystallize under heat and pressure. It is not easy to foliate marble ( Figure 11-52 ). To determine if the marble is composed of calcite or dolomite, calcite will bubble if acid is applied, but sometimes they are made of a related mineral called dolomite which only ...Web
Therefore, the thermal decomposition temperature of dolomite marble is 600 °C around, lower than calcite marble in previous references [16, 26]. At present, the mechanism of thermally induced decomposition of dolomite is still a matter of strong controversy. Generally, there are two different paths to represent the dolomite …Web

Dolomite, CaMg (CO 3) 2, is an abundant carbonate mineral in ancient rock formations, but it is extremely scarce in modern sedimentary environments. This intriguing observation has been repeatedly referred to as the "dolomite problem" in the geological literature. (1−5) Many geoscientists over time have almost obsessively searched for a ...Web
According to scientific and technical literature [6,9,10,11,12,13], the marble can be characterized as a metamorphic stone consisting essentially of calcite crystals (94% to 99%), or more rarely of dolomite crystals, and may contain other minerals in smaller quantities (mica, quartz, dolomite, graphite, among others). Most calcite marbles are ...Web
Any dolomite- or calcite-bearing limestone may be metamorphosed during regional metamorphism. The typical result is a massive light-colored marble that may later become exposed in beautiful outcrops. Figures 15.16 and 15.17 show two examples – a marble outcrop on Vancouver Island, Canada, and another on Thassos Island, Greece.Web

twinning of calcite is very common. The most frequent twin planes are the basal pinacoid {0001} or the negative rhombohedron {01 ( bar{1} ) 2}. Both of them typically occur in lamellar repetition that can be seen, on cleavage planes, as fine parallel striation (Fig. 8.2f). In metamorphic limestones, known as calcitic marble, this lamellar twinning is …Web
