 First Post, Question bout Dolomite Lime

Hi,
gonna start my first grow, soil-based.
I have found almost all ingredients of the Subcool's Super Soil mix. except for Kelp meal (any replacement ideas ?)
the problem is my sources of lime.
I don't know the available white powder here, sold by the name of Lime, is garden lime or dolomite. 
and the sellers don't know either, most even don't know what's the difference between different limes, or basically the idea of different limes being in the soil is strange to them 
So is there any way to tell if a lime sample is dry garden lime, dolomite, or whatever ?
I've access to my lab-like glassware and other chemicals and stuff. if that's required to tell the difference.
BTW, it's sold in medium-sized bags without any label or anything.
Thanks

ya , they are 2 different sources of the same ingredient magnesium .
plays a big roll in lush green foliage and clearing up the growth stunting from purple stems .
the kelp does have a few other things in it but magnesium is a main nutrient in kelp meal along with calcium .
