Dolomite is a sedimentary rock made from limestone exposed to muddy magnesium-rich groundwater. The calcium ions are replaced with magnesium ions, producing harder material.

Durability - Dolomites are not as hard and sturdy as granites. Carbonate, calcium-rich dolomites share many qualities with marbles and are often marketed as “hard” marbles. Hard because they are harder than marbles and less prone to etching. For a busy kitchen countertop, there are safer options.

Aesthetics - Dolomites are quarried in much fewer locations and quantities than other types of stones. They are usually light gray with gray cloudy patches (Super White) or, due to mineral presence, may display earthy brownish tones mixed with green or blue hews (Fantasy Brown, River Blue)

Maintenance - Like all natural stones, Dolomites are porous and must be sealed. Due to their rich calcium content, they react with acids and alcaic substances when exposed. They etch, but not as easily as marble, and can get stained. Spills should be wiped off quickly.

Hygenic Properties - A well-maintained dolomite is a household-safe surface. Regular cleaning and periodic sealer applications will prevent substance penetration and bacterial buildup.

Versatility- Dolomite is becoming more popular in US homes as a decorative stone due to its marble-like appearance and ruggedness. Dolomite countertops, vanity tops, and fireplaces add elegance to any space they're installed in.

Value - The affordability of dolomite makes it a feasible choice compared to other stone materials. With a little extra maintenance and care, you can preserve its beauty for many years of use.
