DOLOMITE PROPERTIES

DOLOMITE

✧ BALANCE ✧ COMFORT ✧ GROUNDING ✧ PEACE ✧
✧ COMPOSURE ✧ STABILITY ✧ HARMONY ✧ CENTREDNESS ✧

Dolomite is a calcium magnesium carbonate mineral, commonly occurring in white, cream, grey and pink tones and sometimes forming beautiful curved or saddle-shaped crystals.

To me, Dolomite represents returning to centre.

I have always experienced it as an incredibly comforting mineral; one that evokes the feeling of coming home after a hectic or emotionally exhausting day and finally being able to settle back into yourself.

Life inevitably knocks us off balance. Stress accumulates, emotions become heightened and sometimes we react from frustration before we've had enough time to understand what we're actually feeling. Dolomite reminds me that we can pause, regain our composure and choose how we want to respond.

For this reason, I particularly associate Dolomite with patience and the management of anger. Strength does not always mean reacting immediately or forcefully. Sometimes strength is the ability to remain grounded enough that anger does not make our decisions for us.

Dolomite also represents integration to me; the idea that our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual lives are not completely separate compartments. When one area of life becomes chaotic, it can influence how we experience everything else.

Its quiet presence reminds me to return to what is stable, familiar and essential.

To settle.
To reassess.
To regain perspective.
And then to move forward from a more centred place with God.

A symbol of balance, comfort, composure and returning to God.
