Layman's explanation:
Dolomite is a common rock-forming mineral found worldwide, but is most commonly associated with limestone quarries such as the ones found in the Midwestern United States. Limestone and dolomite are very similar chemically, the only difference being that dolomite contains magnesium, therefore they are often found together. Other places dolomite can be found are Ontario, Canada; Switzerland; Pamplona, Spain; and in Mexico. Dolomite has very little practical use other than as an additive of concrete mixes.
