Lime stone or dolostone
Dolostone is a rock. Dolomite is the mineral often composing dolostone.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone or dolostone under high pressure and temperature conditions. When limestone or dolostone undergoes metamorphism, the calcite or dolomite minerals recrystallize to form marble. Therefore, the primary rocks that change into marble are limestone and dolostone.
No, dolostone is not an igneous rock. Dolostone is a sedimentary rock that is primarily composed of the mineral dolomite, which forms through the chemical alteration of limestone.
Chert, a form of quartz, can form as beds or nodules in limestone or dolostone.
Marble is formed when limestone or dolostone is subjected to heat and pressure deep beneath the surface, so marble is formed from limestone or dolostone.

Chemically, the distinction between limestone and dolostone is that the first one is chiefly composed of calcite, CaCO3, whereas the second is rich in MgCO3-Dolomite-. Therefore, the difference is limestone has Ca and Dolostone has Mg.Mg is replacing Ca in the dolostone, in other words.It is very difficult to make the distinction in a macro-scale samples. You will need optical or chemical procedures to differentiate each one.
Dolostone and granite are similar because they are both intrusive igneous rocks. They are both used as structure for building materials. Granite is often used for countertops and building foundations. Dolostone is most often used in driveways.
Limestone, dolostone and others.
Marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone.
