Star Gazing

This gracefully simple stone resembles fine marble. Its faceted crystalline appearance affords the stone a distinctive sense of depth. It is generally pink or pinkishwhite in colour but may also be white, grey or even brown or black depending on whether iron and manganese are present minerals in it. In the right lighting, the crystals inside its structure can provide depth and even glitter to a piece. Dolomite has a hardness of between 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.
