Wave Dolomite is a type of Dolomite, a common carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO₃)₂). While the term “Dolomite” is widely used to describe the mineral itself, Wave Dolomite refers to a specific variety that exhibits natural, flowing, wave-like patterns on its surface. These patterns are often light to medium in color, ranging from soft creams and whites to pastel pinks, browns, and greys, creating a soothing and graceful appearance.

The name Dolomite is taken from the French mineralogist Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu, who first described the mineral in the late 18th century. Dolomieu, was a French geologist and mineralogist, studied the mineral extensively, and his name was eventually given to the rock and its component mineral. Wave Dolomite is found in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe.

Wave Dolomite, like other forms of Dolomite, is formed through the process of sedimentation and crystallization. It is primarily found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation of mineral and organic material over time. Dolomite forms when magnesium-rich water reacts with calcium carbonate-rich materials such as limestone. The wave-like patterns of this particular variation are created under specific conditions. Wave Dolomite’s characteristic layered, flowing patterns result from the gradual precipitation of mineral deposits in calm, shallow waters—such as lakes or marine environments. Over time, the movement of water can influence the way these layers form, creating the signature wave-like effects. This process of layered crystallization, combined with the unique mineral content, produces the stone’s stunning visual effect.

Wave Dolomite feels like a gentle wave that washes over you, bringing peace, balance, and emotional renewal. This stone has a special way of helping us release emotional burdens, ease stress, and restore a sense of inner calm.
