Explanation

Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) is indeed an important source of magnesium, containing both calcium and magnesium carbonates. While magnesite (MgCO3) is the primary magnesium ore, dolomite is commercially significant and widely used for magnesium extraction. Bauxite is aluminum ore, pitchblende is uranium ore, and limestone is primarily calcium carbonate.
