What is dolomite made of?
Dolomite is a sedimentary rock consisting mainly of the mineral dolomite, which is chemically calcium magnesium carbonate with the formula CaMg(CO₃)₂.
It is often formed when limestone (which consists of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃) undergoes a chemical transformation in which some of the calcium is replaced by magnesium – a process called dolomitisation.
In nature, dolomite typically occurs as:
- Crystalline dolomite – more compact and hard, often used as decorative or building stone.
- Dolomitic limestone – limestone that has been partially converted to dolomite.
In addition to the dolomite mineral itself, the rock may also contain small amounts of other minerals such as quartz, clay and organic residues, depending on the depositional environment.
The holistic properties of dolomite semi-precious stones are said to include:
- Create calm and balance – help reduce stress and promote inner harmony.
- Support self-acceptance – encourage acceptance of oneself and others without judgement.
- Promote patience – especially during periods of change.
- Ground and stabilise – bring a sense of connection to the earth and security.
It is often associated with the heart chakra, which is symbolically related to love, compassion and emotional healing, making it popular as a gemstone for jewellery making.
