A Spot Test For Dolomitic Limestones

Virgil I. Mann

ABSTRACT

A technique is presented for the separation in the field of dolomitic limestones from high calcium limestones. The procedure requires an application of two solutions on a fresh rock surface. The rate at which a blue color is precipitated will separate dolomitic limestones from other non-magnesium carbonates. A purple color indicates a lack of magnesia.
