Dolomite Chips

Dolomite chips, Dolomite is a common rock-forming mineral. 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.It 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.It is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium (CaCO3, MgCO3). It is one of the important raw materials used in the iron and steel, ferro-alloys, glass, alloy steels, fertilizer industry, etc.
