Anyplace that deals with limestone or marble may also deal in dolomite. like quarries. However, if you cannot get dolomitic limstone then you can just buy crushed ag lime and use epsom salts to add magnesium, assuming you don't mind the added sulfur. The size of the lime grains has much to do with the TNV and ENV of the product, which is how quickly it neutralizes acidic soils.

As a tangent, here's a little digression on limestone as relates to building and grounds care of structures. More than I remembered about limestone until I read it.

Thanks for the clarification. I am very new to this and get a little stuck when asking for things I really don't know about.
