Dolomite The mineral dolomite information and pictur Dolomite is used to describe both a mineral and a rock The mineral is the pure form with a defined crystal structure and chemical formula whereas dolomite rock is composed chiefly of the mineral Dolomite but also contains impurities such as Calcite Quartz and feldsparC chemical replacement of limestone D mechanical deposition of silts 7Dolostone is formed by the A the absolute age of the sediments within the rock B the mineral composition of the sediments within the rock C the particle size of the sediments within the rock D the density of the sediments within the rock
