Magnesite (MgCO3) is a chemical compound that is present on Mars. It was identified in Martian dust in Gusev Crater by the Spirit rover.
Magnesite can be refined into magnesium oxide, a refractory material used in kiln bricks, and the oxide can be further refined into Magnesium, through electrolysis or the Pidgeon process.
