The story of magnesite is fascinating.

(The following is borrowed from Wikipedia and sources cited can be found there)

“Magnesite was detected in meteorite ALH84001 and on planet Mars itself. Magnesite was identified on Mars using infra-red spectroscopy from satellite orbit. Near Jezero Crater, Mg-carbonates have been detected and reported to have formed in lacustrine environment prevailing there. Controversy still exists over the temperature of formation of these carbonates. Low-temperature formation has been suggested for the magnesite from the Mars-derived ALH84001 meteorite. The low-temperature formation of magnesite might well be of significance toward large-scale carbon sequestration. Magnesium-rich olivine (forsterite) favors production of magnesite from peridotite. Iron-rich olivine (fayalite) favors production of magnetite-magnesite-silica compositions. Magnesite can also be formed by way of metasomatism in skarn deposits, in dolomitic limestones, associated with wollastonite, periclase, and talc. Resistant to high temperature and able to withstand high pressure, magnesite has been proposed to be one of the major carbonate bearing phase in Earth's mantle and possible carriers for deep carbon reservoirs. For similar reason, it is found in metamorphosed peridotite rocks in Central Alps, Switzerland and high pressure eclogitic rocks from Tianshan, China. Magnesite can also precipitate in lakes in presence of bacteria either as hydrous Mg-carbonates or magnesite”

Magnesite is a powerful stone that aids the Crown and Third Eye chakras to encourage creativity and deeper meditation. It is often used to aid one in psychic visions and manifestation. When used on the Heart chakra its positive energy encourages self-love and improves self-esteem and confidence. It aligns the chakras for better health of the mind, body, and spirit.
