Dolomite is also a common mineral in hydro-thermal veins. There it is often associated with barite, fluorite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, or sphalerite. In these veins it often occurs as rhombohedral crystals which sometimes have curved faces.
“Dolomite mineral” is a word that is used by geologists in two different way
s:
1) as the name of the mineral dolomite
2) as the name of a rock known as dolomite, dolostone, or dolomite rock.
Dolomite Mineral originates in the same sedimentary environments as limestone i.e. in warm, shallow, marine environments where calcium carbonate (CaCO3) mud accumulates in the form of shell debris, fecal material, coral fragments, and carbonate precipitates. Dolomite is thought to form when the calcite in carbonate mud or limestone is modified by magnesium-rich groundwater. The available magnesium facilitates the conversion of calcite into dolomite.
