The Mystery of Dolomitization: What Makes Dolomite Rock Unique?

Dolomite is a naturally occurring mineral and sedimentary rock (dolostone) primarily composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO
Unlike limestone (which is purely calcium carbonate), Dolomite contains a near-perfect 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of magnesium to calcium, with these ions arranged in ordered layers.

Formation: Most geologists believe Dolomite forms through dolomitization, a secondary process where magnesium-rich fluids (like brines or seawater) alter existing limestone or lime mud. The exact process remains an active area of research, as naturally forming dolomite is rare in modern environments, leading to the "Dolomite Problem" in geology.so same have to go therough many process of dyor and knowledge for that
