Date of data collection: from 2024-07-23 to 2025-05-26. Geographical location of data collection: Ljubljana, Slovenia Information on the funders/programmes/projects that made the data collection possible: This study was financially supported by the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency (ARIS) under project J1-50032 “Geological and lithogeochemical characterization of Slovenian dolomites including Mg extraction tests”, and research core grants P1-0025 (Mineral resources) and P2-0273 (Building structures and materials). ----------------------------- SHARING/ACCESSING INFORMATION ----------------------------- Data licences/restrictions: CC-BY ---------------------- VIEWING DATA AND FILES ---------------------- File list: - XLSX-Raziskovalni podatki - Description:Raw numerical data derived from ICP-ES/MS, XRD and SEM/EDXS measurements used in the article. -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- Description of the methods used to collect/obtain the data: The experimental design and protocols used to collect the data are described in the article. ------------------------------------- DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION: [ZIP-Raziskovalni podatki] ------------------------------------- This dataset contains original results of elemental analysis, which was done in the commercial laboratory Bureau Veritas, Vancouver, Canada, by using MA250, AQ300 and LF300 analytical packages. MA250 include digestion in the mixture of HCl, HNO3, HF and H2SO4, which can be regarded as near-total digestion, while determination of elements was done by ICP-ES/MS for 51 chemical elements. AQ300 include aqua regia digestion method coupled by ICP-ES was used for the determination of As, B, Cd, Hg and Tl. Oxide composition of Al2O3, CaO,Fe2O3,K2O,MgO,Na2O and SiO2 was determined by the laser ablation ICP-ES/MS method prior fusion with lithium-borate (LF300). Loss of ignition was determined at this stage. The data is linked to Table 2, Fig.4, Fig.5, Fig.6 and Fig.7 of the Article.

The measurements were carried out using a PANalytical Empyrean X-ray diffractometer with CuK alpha radiation (wavelength CuK alpha1 1.54 A). Each sample was measured from 2theta = 4° to 70° with an increment of 0.0130°, the X–ray tube was operated at 45 kV and 40 mA. 2Th - 2Theta(°) Int - Intensity(counts) The Tab-deliminated CSV files, which are listed below, include original measurements of EDXS elemental composition (point analysis, atomic %) for different minerals, linked to Table 4, Figure 9 and Supplement 1. Samples were examined with a JEOL IT500 LV scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an Ultim Max Detector (Oxford Instruments) operated in high vacuum mode with an accelerating voltage of 15 kV. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) was performed using the software Aztec 5.0 SP1 (Oxford Instruments Nanotechnology Tools Ltd).
