Dolomite
CALCIUM MAGNESIUM CARBONATE
Powdered Dolomite is taken as a
supplement, providing calcium and magnesium for people who want to increase
their intake.

This is a remarkable fact considering it originates from the shells of tiny sea animals that have been deposited in the sea and, over millions of years, turned into translucent, colourless, white or pink crystals.
