Note: Crystals cannot be an alternative for medical attention nor can they be a substitute.

Dolomite is considered to be a rather gentle stone that brings to the owner increased mercy, unselfishness and giving in all its forms and manifestations.

From the mineralogical point of view dolomite is a carbonate (CO3) rock which is consisted of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). It chemical formula is CaMg(CO3)2. This rock was discovered by the French explorer Dolomieu in the 18th century. The term Dolomites is also used to mark a group of mountains (a section of the Alps) in southern Tyrol. The geological origin of the dolomite is not clear up to date. The basic problem is that dolomite does not form sedimentary rocks, meaning that some time in the past there must have been a transformation from limestone (aragonite and calcite) into dolomite. The origin of magnesium and of this possible transformation in dolomite is still unknown.

Dolomite is used as stone for ornaments, as raw material for manufacturing cement and as a source for magnesium oxide. In the horticulture it is used as a supplement to the earth to lower its level of acidity. Dolomite from some region contains considerable quantities of lead and other toxic materials.
