Dolomite has a rhombohedral cleavage.
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.
the color of the streak for dolomite is white
Dolomite has a specific gravity of 2.9, or 2.9 times the weight of water.
cleavage....
It has both. It's cleavage is perfect, and it's fracture is sub-conchoidal.
Dolomite is a metal, a dolomite mountain is a mountain made of dolomite

Yes. Dolomite is a carbonate, not a silicate.
Triumph Dolomite was created in 1972.
The metamorphosed form of dolomite is called marble. Dolomite is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of the mineral dolomite, while marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone or dolomite under high heat and pressure.
Sulfur's cleavage is imperfect.
Yes, both calcite and dolomite are carbonates.
Dolomite is a carbonate. The formula is CaMg(CO3)2
Dolomite (Magnesium Carbonate) is a sedimentary rock.
