ITEM# CARVING-Dolomite-0001


This is a very nice dolphin carving made of pink dolomite.  This carving has attractive gray swirls embedded into the pink matrix. 

Dolomite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, CaMg(CO3)2. The term is also used to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock dolostone.

Dolostone (dolomite rock) is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite with a stoichiometric ratio of 50% or greater content of magnesium replacing calcium, often as a result of diagenesis.   Limestone that is partially replaced by dolomite is referred to as dolomitic limestone, or in old U.S. geologic literature as magnesian limestone.  Dolomite was first described in 1791 as a rock  from exposures in what are now known as the Dolomite Alps of northern Italy.

Metaphysical properties:   Dolomite is a gentle stone that encourages charitable actions, generosity and giving of all kinds, as well as receiving.  It also encourages energetic thinking, original thinking, spontaneity, creativity, and manifestation. It can help develop stamina for dealing with hyperactive people.  It is also used to stop energy leaks from the chakras, and to balance and align the chakras. It stabilizes both human and mineral energies, and when placed strategically in a home with other minerals they balance the energetic atmosphere.  It is a particularly good stone for relieving sorrow, and soothing hurt, loneliness and anxiety.  Sometimes it is called the "herb" of rocks. In the physical realm it is also beneficial for strengthening bones, teeth, muscles, and the female reproductive system.  It reduces the effects of PMS. Pink dolomite is also particularly good for insomnia.

This specimen measures approximately 6 3/4 inches long by 3 1/4 inches tall.
