The alkaline water in Lake Natron has a pH as high as 10.5 and is so caustic it can burn the skin and eyes of animals that aren't adapted to it. The water's alkalinity comes from the sodium carbonate and other minerals that flow into the lake from the surrounding hills.
Martian meteorites show olivine, a magnesium-silicate mineral, is common. Experiments are underway to assess the use of a breakdown component, magnesium carbonate, to form a concrete binder from which we could fashion buildings. inverse.com/science/have-…

Calcite, which comes in dozens of colours, is a form of calcium carbonate, which is the mineral that makes up chalk. While its name comes from the German word calcit meaning limestone. However, it is also the color of the throat chakra – the energy center of your body that guides your communication.
Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral and when it's polished, it has a striking aspect
🔥 Hanging Lake is located on a fault line and was formed when roughly an acre and a half of the valley floor sheared off from the fault and dropped to what is now the shallow bed of the lake. The turquoise colors of the lake are produced by carbonate minerals that have dissolved in the water.

Using calcium carbonate to make minerals more bioavailable in phytate rich foods
How can I make minerals bioavailable in phytate-rich foods? Would adding calcium carbonate (antacids)during cooking provide alternative binding sites for the phytates? I'm hoping that I can add calcium or iron tablets to prevent the phytates binding to the rarer and more useful minerals in the food. This assumes that the phytates are released from their bonds by cooking.
