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 common stones, barring raw adamantine and because it cannot be melted slade1. Its melting point exceeds that of even iron, and in fact all metals barring adamantine. This high melting point makes dolomite buildings extremely resistant to dragonfire.
1: Sphalerite cannot be melted, but will boil before dolomite melts. Graphite, lignite, and bituminous coal cannot be melted and will boil after dolomite melts, but will ignite long before that.
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.
