The 13 pages that link to Carbonate mineral, each with the reason it gives.

• CalciteNarrower topic: Calcite is among the most abundant members of this mineral family.

• SerpentinizationNarrower topic: Carbon-bearing fluids reacting with altered ultramafic rocks can precipitate carbonates.

• Soil carbonRelated: Carbonates hold inorganic soil carbon, distinct from carbon in organic matter.

• AragoniteNarrower topic: Aragonite is a carbonate mineral built from calcium and carbonate ions.

• MalachiteNarrower topic: Malachite belongs to this mineral family through its carbonate component.

• BastnäsiteNarrower topic: Carbonate is one of the two anionic components defining bastnäsite’s composition.

• MagnesiteNarrower topic: Magnesite belongs to this mineral group through its CO₃²⁻ anion.

• SideriteNarrower topic: Siderite belongs to this mineral family, whose crystal structures and reactions help explain its properties.

• Sulfate mineralCompared with: Carbonate minerals share an oxygen-bearing anion structure but contain carbon rather than sulfur.

• Oxide mineralCompared with: Carbonates contain oxygen in a polyatomic ion rather than as a simple metal oxide.

• SmithsoniteNarrower topic: Smithsonite belongs to this mineral family because carbonate ions combine with zinc in its formula.

• RhodochrositeNarrower topic: Rhodochrosite belongs to this mineral group through its carbonate anion.

• Halide mineralCompared with: Carbonates may precipitate from saline waters but are chemically distinct from halides.
