Magnesite a Carbonate Mineral

Distinct crystals of Magnesite are rare, but when found are rhombohedral or prismatic. Magnesite is generally massive, lamellar, fibrous, or granular. A carbonate of magnesium, Magnesite take is it name from its composition and is virtually impossible to melt. Most commonly white or light grey, it can be yellow or brownish when iron substitute for some of the magnesium.

Magnesite forms principally as an alteration product in magnesium-rich rocks, such as peridotites, and through the action of magnesium – containing solutions upon calcite. It also occurs as a primary mineral in limestone and talc or chlorite schists and is found in some meteorites.

Magnesite is said to promote relaxation and a positive attitude to life. It removes negative feelings, reduces oversensitivity and said to aid in lifting depression. The pure white color symbolizes purity and freedom but also fertility, it is said to protect the wearer against false love, false friends and intrigues. Magnesite is linked to the star sign of Libra.


This design is handcraft entirely of the white Magnesite cut in disks which I’ve slightly graduated. Between are faceted hexagons light Topaz crystals, gold tone spacers and paired at the bottom is a Turquoise cross pendant; the bail is handmade in non-tarnish gold wire.

Dolomie to Dolomite

Named after French mineralogist D. de Dolomieu (1750-1801), who described it in 1798 during a visit to Egypt with Napoleon Bonaparte. The mineral’s original name was dolomie. It is used in manufacturing of refractory bricks for furnace linings. The mineral is composed of calcium and magnesium carbonate, being similar to calcite. Dolomite is found in metamorphic marble rock and occurs as a gangue mineral in veins with sphalerite or galena. Its most important occurrence, however, is as a rock-forming mineral in carbonate rocks. Crystals are commonly rhombohedral or tabular, and often have curved faces. Dolomite can be coarse to fine granular, massive or fibrous, which is rarely seen. Pearl spar is a variety with a pearly luster and colored white, gray or pale brown. Bitter spar is an iron-bearing variety, colored brown by ankerite.




This piece is a touch of Indian Southwest design using a beautifully cut and polished Dolomite pendant; accented with Arizona Pipestone and Ivoryite with a touch of silver/pewter throughout.
