Dolomite is a nonmetallic mineral that is usually white, grey, cream or pink. It is usually opaque and breaks into rhombohedrons. It may look like calcite, but will not react to HCl like it does--it only reacts if it is in powder form.

Minerals are solids, may appear as any color of the rainbow (also clear and black), and under close examination will have a geometric crystalline structure.
