Dolomite crystals belong to three square system carbonate minerals. The chemical composition is CaMg (CO3) 2. Isomorphous, manganese and other isomorphous (instead of magnesium). When the number of iron or manganese exceeds that of magnesium, it is called dolomite or manganese dolomite. Three crystal system, crystal is rhombohedral, crystal surface is often bent into saddle shape, poly double crystal is common. Aggregates are usually grainy. Pure is white; gray when iron; brown after weathering. Glassy luster. It is the main mineral of dolomite. Marine sedimentary dolomite is often interbedded with siderite and limestone. In lacustrine sediments, dolomite and gypsum, anhydrite, halite, sylvite, symbiosis.
