Kitchen with new dolomite countertops and island:
Dolomites are slightly harder than your average marble but are much softer than granite, therefore they can scratch.
In addition, dolomites will hold up better than marble to acids and etching, but they can still etch. Dolomites make a great looking countertop and can be used in the kitchen, bathroom, etc.
Dolomite, also known as dolostone and dolomite rock, is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral dolomite. Dolomite is found in sedimentary basins worldwide.
Dolomite, like most natural stones is porous and needs to be sealed to prevent staining. Although it performs better than true marble, it can scratch and etch, so know your options
