Marble is a metamorphic rock that is composed mainly of calcite and dolomite. These minerals are typically formed from the metamorphism of limestone or dolostone. Marble is known for its distinctive veining and high polish.
Dolomite is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of the mineral dolomite, which is a calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2). It typically contains varying amounts of calcite (calcium carbonate) and can also include other minerals such as clay, quartz, and iron oxides. Dolomite is often formed from the alteration of limestone through a process called dolomitization. This rock is used in various applications, including construction, agriculture, and as a source of magnesium.
Talc is formed from the metamorphism of magnesium-rich rocks, such as serpentine or dolomite, under high temperature and pressure conditions. These conditions cause the minerals in the rocks to recrystallize and form talc. The presence of water during this process also plays a significant role in the formation of talc.
Evaporites such as halite, gypsum, anhydrate and the evaporitic forms of carbonates such as calcite and dolomite which are all sedimentary rocks.
Yes. Dolomite is a carbonate, not a silicate.
