Geocache Description:

Kona Dolamite
All rocks are old, right? True, but some are much older than others! Kona Dolamite is a pink Dolomite, one of the oldest on the planet. Dolomite is an ancient rock in which formations of fossilized algae occur. The algae in these beautiful semi-precious stones began as some of the first life on earth ! Each specimen of rock is a minimum of 2.2 billion years old. This is older than diamonds and half as old as the planet itself. This sublime specimen, Kona Dolamite, comes from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

It is named for the Kona Hills south of Marquette and is mined here. These fossil formations are found in the lower eras of the Middle Precambrian Period. Kona Dolamite is found in a variety of colors: brown, yellow, cream, red, pink, and orange, with shades of brown, cream, and gray. The stone usually has black mottling, banding, or lacing. Pink or salmon with the black bands are the most desirable
