ℹ️
True Geology: Dolomitic marble
Fantasy Brown Quartzite is commercially sold as dolomite, but it is geologically a dolomitic marble. This distinction matters because true geological classification determines the stone's actual physical and chemical properties — which affects how it performs, how it should be maintained, and how it reacts to acids and moisture.
