We are offering dolomite stone.
The physical properties of dolomite that are useful for identification are presented in the table below. Dolomite has three directions of perfect cleavage. This may not be evident when the dolomite is fine grained. However, when it is coarsely crystalline the cleavage angles can easily be observed with a hand lens. Dolomite has a mohs hardness of 3 12 to 4 and is sometimes found in rhombohedral crystals with curved faces. Dolomite produces a very weak reaction to cold, dilute hydrochloric acid; however, if the acid is warm or if the dolomite is powdered a much stronger acid reaction will be observed. (powdered dolomite can easily be produced by scratching it on a streak plate.).
