  Magnesite - LoveToKnow 1911
MAGNESITE, a mineral consisting of magnesium carbonate, MgCO 3, and belonging to the calcite group of rhombohedral carbonates.
The name magnesite as originally applied by J. Delametherie in 1797 included several minerals containing magnesium, and at the present day it is used by French writers for meerschaum.
Magnesite is a product of alteration of magnesium silicates, and occurs as veins and patches in serpentine, talc-schist or dolomiterock.
