- Though similar to calcite, the inclusion of magnesium in the chemistry of Dolomite makes it a more robust & stable mineral
- Ideal for learning about physical and chemical properties. Great for having students compare with calcite - a challenging but beneficial exercise. This set of twelve samples is excellent for group study and examination
- Each specimen is selected and hand processed, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
- Sourced from a variety of locations around the world
- Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
