Dolomite only has a hardness of ~4 but is very brittle and sharp it often forms with many small white, grey, clear or pink crystals. Because dolomite is sharp and can be broken easily, it can be very dangerous to miners.

Limestone is closely related to CaCO3 (calcium carbonate). As with most carbonates it is quite crystalline and a very chalky texture. Therefore limestone is fine grained and chalky.

you do a streak test, and you look at their luster.
