Mineral background
Dolomite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Dolomite specimens
Look for white, cream, pink or saddle-shaped crystals, often with calcite or sulphides. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Associations with sphalerite, calcite, pyrite or classic localities can lift interest.
Care and handling
Keep dry and away from acids; protect crystal edges.
