Dolostone Specimen (Sedimentary Rock), Hand Specimen
A dolostone hand sample, about 3 inches long. Dolostone is lithified dolomite, a raw carbonate rock deposited and hardened from solution, and is tougher than its chemical relative limestone. It is quarried for construction and infrastructure, used heavily as concrete and in cement, and in homes as countertops. In class it supports teaching on sedimentary petrology, chemical sedimentary rocks and industrial geology. Sized for identification labs and aligned with NGSS evidence statements; supplied in a clear, labelled, barcoded bag.
