magnesian
Rich in element twelve
Magnesian means containing or relating to magnesium or magnesia.
The term appears most often in geological and chemical contexts: magnesian limestone, magnesianite.
Magnesian rocks and minerals have significant magnesium content, distinguishing them from their calcium-dominant counterparts.
