Dolomite is an elegant and versatile choice for kitchens — from countertops and backsplashes to islands and accent surfaces — offering the refined look of marble with added durability. Known for its soft veining and cool tones, dolomite brings a clean, sophisticated aesthetic to any space.
Stop by our showroom in Richardson, Texas, to browse our handpicked selection of premium dolomite slabs.
Formed through the slow crystallization of calcium magnesium carbonate, dolomite is a sedimentary stone known for its soft veining and understated color palette. Its appearance is often compared to marble, but dolomite offers better resistance to scratching and etching.
Beyond kitchen countertops, it’s also well-suited for bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding and flooring in medium-traffic areas. With proper sealing and care, it brings lasting beauty to any space.
Dolomite is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium magnesium carbonate, with a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale — making it more durable than marble and well-suited for everyday use. Slabs typically come in two thickness options: 2 centimeters (¾ inch) and 3 centimeters (1¼ inch).
Quarried in regions including the United States, Canada and Italy, dolomite forms over millions of years from the chemical alteration of limestone. This process gives the stone its signature soft veining and neutral color palette. Choose from a variety of finishes — polished for a glossy surface, honed for a smooth matte look, and leathered for a more textured, organic feel.
