Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element and constitutes about 2% of the Earth's crust, and it is the third most plentiful element dissolved in seawater. Although magnesium is found in over 60 minerals, only dolomite, magnesite, brucite, carnallite, and olivine are of commercial importance.
Large mineral deposits of magnesite are located in Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), former Czechoslovakia, Greece, Turkey, North Korea, former Yugoslavia, and the U.S.

They realize an 80%, average amount of MgO taken per pound of ore mined. And also use most of the tailings.

The Four Industrial Grades of MgO:
dead-burned, fused, caustic-calcined and natural “un-fired”

And some snap shots of its chemical formation, in 3D effect.

The stable nature of Magnesium Oxide.
The “science” of the magical substance.
How it is fire-proof, mold-proof, water-proof, and why it is such an amazing binder.

The greater the charge, the greater the attraction, the greater the binding. Noble gas structures are formed, and the magnesium oxide is held together by very strong attractions between the ions. The ionic bonding is strong because you have 2+ ions attracting 2- ions.
