What does the American flag stand for. The 50 stars represent the 50 states, the 13 stripes represent the 13 original colonies. The US flag is also known as Old Glory. Betsy Ross made the first flag, and for reference, in the Pantone system the colors are: Blue PMS 281 and Red PMS 193.
Three years later the naturalist Richard Kirman introduced the Dolomite as a new mineral; the name from there became used to name the dolostone rocks and finally gave the Dolomites - referred in the past simply as the Pale Mountains - their actual name.
Dolomite /ËdÉlÉmaÉªt/ is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, ideally CaMg(CO 3) 2. The word dolomite is also used to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock, which is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite (also known as dolostone).n horticulture, dolomite and dolomitic limestone are added to soils and soilless potting mixes as a pH buffer and as a magnesium source. Home and container gardening are common examples of this use.
