Dolomite is a geode mineral from Magma Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is one of the better-paying finds in a Magma Geode, level with Bixite and six times the price of Baryte. A Coral Fish Pond can also produce it, so a farm can make Dolomite at home. Its uses are a museum donation, a Shirt and a pink or red dye. As a gift, only the Wizard likes it.
The in-game description reads: It can occur in coral reefs, often near an underwater volcano.
Location
Most Dolomite comes from Magma Geodes. They draw from a short list of minerals, so each one has a fair chance of holding it. Omni Geodes can hold it as well, but their odds are spread across the minerals of every geode type.
Rocks on floors 81 to 119 of The Mines drop Magma Geodes. Omni Geodes come from rocks on floor 21 and below, and they are common in the Skull Cavern. On Wednesdays the Oasis sells Omni Geodes too.
A Coral Fish Pond may produce one Dolomite once its population reaches nine. That turns a full pond into a supply of a valuable mineral straight from the farm.
Clint at the Blacksmith opens geodes for 25g each. A Geode Crusher does the job at home after Clint's Cave Patrol special order unlocks its recipe. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.
Prices
Dolomite sells well for a geode mineral. From the same geode, Fire Opal and Helvite are worth more, and Basalt and Baryte are worth less. The Gemologist profession from Mining level 10 lifts Dolomite's price by thirty percent.
A Crystalarium can copy Dolomite in about three and a half days. That earns around 86g a day, the same as Bixite. Diamonds earn about 150g a day in the same machine, so Dolomite is a middling choice for a Crystalarium.
Uses
Donating the first Dolomite to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Each new mineral moves the total towards his rewards. These include furniture such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone, the Crystal Chair at 41 minerals, and a Crystalarium at 50.
Putting Dolomite and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. Placed in the spool with a dyeable clothing item, it dyes the item pink. It can also go in the red dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
Gifts
The Wizard likes Dolomite.
Among those who dislike Dolomite are Jas, Leo and Vincent. Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike it as well, as do Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. The same goes for the Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy, and for the older villagers Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam.
Notes
A Coral pond gives a second route to Dolomite besides geodes. It can fill the museum slot before the deep floors of The Mines, where Magma Geodes appear, have been reached.
