Citric Magnesite - Per Kilo

Magnesite is a Magnesium Carbonate which belongs to the calcite group of minerals. It forms commonly from the alteration of magnesium-rich rocks during low grade metamorphism while they are in contact with carbonate-rich solutions. The colour of magnesite is white or grey, also tinted yellow or brown with a vitreous lustre. The crystal habits are usually massive forms such as lamellar, fibrous and course to fine grained rocks. Crystals are extremely rare, but when found are in the form of rhombohedrons or hexagonal prisms with a pinacoid termination. Magnesite can be found in Austria, Brazil, Korea, China, USA and many European localities.
