Magnesium is very abundant in nature, occurring in substantial amounts in many rock-forming minerals such as dolomite, magnesite, olivine, and serpentine. In addition, magnesium is also found in sea water, subterranean brines, and salt beds.

Magnesium is never found in its metallic form on Earth; it appears in the form of compounds such as magnesium carbonate (etc.).

it is Mg2+
However, if you are converting elemental magnesium to its more common ionic form, the magnesium atoms each lose two electrons.

Where does chlorine naturally occur?
Chlorine gas does not occur naturally as it is too reactive. Chloride salts occur naturally. The most common is sodium chloride, NaCl. Chlorine, Cl2, is obtained by electrolysing molten NaCl.
