Blue Dolomite

Q: What is Blue Dolomite made of?

Blue Dolomite has the chemical formula CaMg(CO₃)₂, crystallises in the trigonal system and measures 3.5 – 4 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Blue dolomite is a variety of the double carbonate of calcium and magnesium coloured pale blue by trace copper and iron in the lattice. It forms in sedimentary settings by the replacement of limestone through magnesium-rich groundwater, a process called dolomitisation. The Congolese and Moroccan deposits both come from Mesozoic carbonate platforms altered by later hydrothermal fluids.
