RCF RAW MAGNESITE
Magnesium Carbonate (Mg2CO3)
General Description
Magnesite is magnesium carbonate (Mg CO3) – 47% CO2, 52% Iron Manganese and calcium is often present. Magnesite is commonly found in granular, compact or earthly masses resembling unglazed porcelain, also in coarsely crystalline or spathic variety form resembling marble or coarse-grained dolomite in texture. More rarely in rhombohedral crystal or fibratio.
