Dolomite is a white medium-value and economic type of sedimentary stone that forms entire layers. It is also a flux stone, meaning it can be used in the production of pig iron and steel. Additionally, it is magma safe, with an extremely high melting point of 16507 °U , in fact, the highest melting point of all stones, exceeding that of even iron. This high melting point makes dolomite buildings extremely resistant to dragonfire.
In Real Life
Dolomite is comprised of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2) and is related to limestone, chalk, and marble. Its ionic and crystalline nature contributes to its high melting point.
