Weakly effervescent, dolomite will bubble when exposed to acid
Specimen comes in clear labeled and barcoded bag for ideal storage
وصف
Though similar to calcite, the inclusion of magnesium in dolomite's chemistry makes it a more robust, more stable mineral. It will still effervesce in acid, though the reaction is much weaker. Because of this, dolomite is often used as a component in concrete. Distinguishing this sample from calcite can be a difficult, but beneficial, exercise. Each sample is approximately 1" long and comes in a labeled plastic bag.
