Magnesium is an essential element in your diet. Green spinach and many other green vegetables are useful sources.
answer 2 Magnesium is commonly extracted from sea water, and for this purpose, you need warm sea water [for economics] and a plentiful supply of sea shells or other calcium source such as limestone. It is prepared using a flux electrolytic process in a similar manner to that for aluminium. Dolomite rock is another commercial source for this useful metal.

In the 1800's how did they extract potassium and magnesium?
Magnesium is extracted from its ores by one of two processes. In the first, the ore is converted to magnesium chloride (MgCl2), which is then electrolyzed. In the second process, the ore is converted to magnesium oxide (MgO), which is then treated with the alloy ferrosilicon. The ferrosilicon reacts with magnesium oxide to yield pure magnesium metal.It is the same for potassium, they both need to be electrolyised
Earthy ore of magnesium?
It is termed a 'wad'. It is created by the dissolution of dolomite at surface and when the magnesium is concentrated enough, it can become economic
What is the name of tin ore?
The name for tin ore is "Tin Ore." There is no other name for tin ore..... Also, you can combine a tin ore to a copper ore to make a bronze bar. :)
Why is magnesium is expensive than aluminum?
The long answer would factor in the commercial market for metals as commodities and the relative abundance of magnesium ore and iron ore in certain geographic areas. The short answer, and the one more relevant to chemistry, is that magnesium is higher on the reactivity series than iron, and thus is slightly harder to separate from its compounds.
