 Dolomite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dolomite is the name of both a carbonate rock and a mineral consisting of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO) found in crystals.
Reproducible laboratory syntheses of dolomite (and magnesite) leads first to the initial precipitation of a metastable "precursor" (such as magnesium calcite), to be changed gradually into more and more of the stable phase (such as dolomite or magnesite) during periodical intervals of dissolution and reprecipitation.
Dolomite is used as an ornamental stone, as a raw material for the manufacture of cement, and as a source of magnesium oxide.

Magnesium's role as a cofactor in calcium utilization is very important, for without it the enzyme that facilitates the passage of calcium across cell membranes fails to act, resulting in both calcium and magnesium deficiencies.

 EPA: Federal Register: Aluminum-magnesium Hydroxy Carbonate; Notice of Filing a Pesticide Petition for Exemption from ...
The stability of aluminum-magnesium hydroxy carbonate (insoluble except in strong acids) indicates that it does not present a greater potential for exposure to the components used in its preparation, and the uses proposed for it are identical to uses that are currently cleared by EPA for the starting materials (flow agent and solid diluent).
Magnesium salts are poorly absorbed from the intestines, and cause osmotic withdrawal of water into the intestinal lumen; it is ultimately excreted in the feces.
Exposure to aluminum-magnesium hydroxy carbonate from food is not anticipated, due to its insolubility (except in strong acids) and the lack of potential for contact with food or food-contact surfaces under the proposed conditions of use.

 Chemistry and the Aquarium
Magnesium might be compared to a large lake, with the lake level only slowly responding to changes in inputs from rivers and export via evaporation and the outlet.
Magnesium carbonate is a more complicated issue, as it is near its solubility limit in seawater and may quickly get coated with a less soluble magnesium calcite.
In short, while magnesium carbonate is not supersaturated in seawater (or in typical reef aquaria), and will not precipitate on its own, magnesium is attracted to calcium carbonate surfaces where the carbonate ions are already held in place by the calcium ions.
