Answer 2

Dolomite

Explanation:

• When more than 50 percent of a carbonate rock is composed of the mineral dolomite ($CaCO_{3}.MgCO_{3}$) ,the rock is called dolostone or simply dolomite.

• When calcite occupies more than 10 percent in such a rock(between 10 and 50 percent)the resultant rock is named a 'calcitic dolomite'.
• A dolomite with an appreciable amount of ferrous carbonate is called ferrodolomite.

• Ferrous carbonate entering into a solid solution with dolomite imparts a buff color to the rock upon oxidation.
• The common impurities in natural dolomites are anhydrite and gypsum.
