DOLOMITE

(Alternate Name: Dolostone)

Appearance

Dolomite appears in soft whites, blush pinks, pale peach, or light gray tones, often opaque with a gentle, chalky-to-waxy texture. It may form as rhombohedral crystals, granular masses, or compact stone, giving it a grounded, comforting presence rather than sparkle. Its look is understated—calm, steady, and reassuring.
