It's been a long time since I dealt with inorganic (or organic for that matter)
chemistry, but I believe the above molecule does not exist. The carbonate
ion (CO3) has a charge of -2, while both the Ca and Mg ions have a charge of
+2. So, CaC03 and MgCO3 are both real molecules, but CaMgCO3 is not.
Or is it a mixture of both salts?

If we knew what we were doing it would not be called research, would it?
