Dolomite is a type of limestone containing magnesium carbonate as well as the calcium carbonate of ordinary limestone. As with ordinary limestone, dolomite is a deposit of microscopic skeletons of dead plankton. When the plankton die their skeletons settle to the bottom of the ocean, forming a ooze that eventually solidifies. When mountain building activities raise this on the land we get limestone or dolomite.

Can dolomite be scratched be scratched with a knife?
Dolomite has a hardness of about 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale, which means it can be scratched by materials that are harder, such as a knife blade. Most common knives, made of steel, typically have a hardness greater than 4, so they can scratch dolomite. However, the ease of scratching may depend on the specific type of knife and the condition of both the knife and the dolomite surface.
