Magnesite

Q: What is Magnesite made of?

Magnesite has the chemical formula MgCO₃, crystallises in the trigonal system and measures 3.5 – 4.5 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Magnesite is a magnesium carbonate that most often forms by the alteration of magnesium-rich rocks such as serpentinite and dolomite, or by precipitation in evaporite environments. It typically occurs as porcelain-like white nodules or fine-grained masses veined with the host material.
