Minnesota Limestone
Mankato Kasota Stone is a dolomitic limestone quarried and fabricated in Southern Minnesota. What makes this five-hundred-million-year-old stone distinctive is its magnesium rich property that produces a stronger, less porous, abrasion resistant limestone, which allows a unique variety of cuts and finishes to be used for either interior or exterior applications from simple pavers to towering skyscrapers.

Dolomite, which is named for the French mineralogist Deodat de Dolomieu, is a common sedimentary rock-forming mineral that can be found in massive beds several hundred feet thick. They are found all over the world and are quite common in sedimentary rock sequences. Dolomite forms in hydrothermal veins that also contain galena and sphalerite when magnesium bearing solutions come into contact with limestones. It is therefore a secondary mineral. The most notable form of dolomite is the marble which comes from Carrara, Tuscany, Italy. Dolomitic rocks are formed from dolomitic limestone which is limestone which contains some dolomite. Dolomitic rocks contain fewer fossils that other limestones because recrystallation takes place when they are formed.
