Magnesite

A member of the calcite-type car-bonates having the formula MgCO3. It forms dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) with calcite (CaCO3) in the system CaCO3–MgCO3. Pure magnesite is not common in nature because there exists a complete series of solid solutions between MgCO3 and FeCO3, which is constantly present in magnesite in its natural occurrence.
