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
Marble is composed of small particles of calcite or dolomite minerals, which are crystalline forms of calcium carbonate. These particles give marble its unique texture and appearance.
Dolomite typically exhibits three cleavage planes that intersect at approximately 90 degrees, resulting in rhombohedral cleavage.
Dolomite has a specific gravity of 2.9, or 2.9 times the weight of water.
Limestone typically has a fine to medium-grained texture, with visible grains of calcite or dolomite minerals. It may appear dense and compact, with a smooth, granular surface. Depending on the specific type of limestone, it can also contain fossils or other organic remains.
Dense, sugary
Dolomite is a metal, a dolomite mountain is a mountain made of dolomite
Marble is a rock and rocks don't have crystal structures. However, marble does have a crystalline texture of visible interlocked calcite or dolomite mineral grains.
The metamorphism of limestone primarily results in the formation of marble, while the metamorphism of dolomite produces a rock known as dolomitic marble or simply dolomite. During this process, the original carbonate minerals recrystallize under heat and pressure, leading to a denser and more crystalline texture. Marble is prized for its aesthetic qualities and is commonly used in sculpture and architecture.
"Dolomite: Simply Better."

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.
Marble is composed of small particles of calcite or dolomite minerals, which are crystalline forms of calcium carbonate. These particles give marble its unique texture and appearance.
Dolomite is a carbonate. The formula is CaMg(CO3)2
Yes, both calcite and dolomite are carbonates.
