Ankerite is a calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese carbonate mineral of the group of rhombohedral carbonates with formula: Ca(Fe,Mg,Mn)(CO3)2. In composition it is closely related to dolomite, but differs from this in having magnesium replaced by varying amounts of iron(II) and manganese. Forms series with dolomite and kutnohorite.
The crystallographic and physical characters resemble those of dolomite and siderite. The angle between the perfect rhombohedral cleavages is 73° 48', the hardness is 3.5 to 4, and the specific gravity is 2.9 to 3.1. The color is white, grey or reddish to yellowish brown.
Ankerite occurs with siderite in metamorphosed ironstones and sedimentary banded iron formations. It also occurs in carbonatites. In sediments it occurs as authigenic, diagenetic minerals and as a product of hydrothermal deposition. It is one of the minerals of the dolomite-siderite series, to which the terms brown-spar, pearl-spar and bitter-spar have been historically loosely applied.
Woke up this morning with a cold one in my hand
I could go and get myself another but I've had all I can stand
Cause I don't like nothing about my life today
Think I'm gonna take these bottles and I'll throw ‘em all away
And it boils my blood and it makes me mad as hell
Cause there's no one to blame but myself...
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
Living out my dreams, yeah – I haven't got a dime
I used to think I had so much to say; now I can never find a line
And I know I'll regret it until my dying day
If I take my only chance and I throw it all away
And it boils my blood and it makes me mad as hell
Cause there's no one to blame but myself...
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I gotta throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
Get down...
It don't work
It ain't ever gonna pay
It don't work – so throw it away!
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'll throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
I'm gonna throw it away
It don't work, and it don't pay
Think I'm gonna throw it all away
It don't work, and it don't pay
I'm gonna throw it away
Just throw it away
