extraction of metals with sodium peroxide

good day :)

I am looking to extract the magnesium, I saw that it is the only positive metal that is possible to extract it by electrolysis, so I am investing my time for this, I saw many tutorials on the internet teaching to take the magnesium from lighter batteries, but I think these things are difficult to find, I looked for the simplest form and with stones it was more interesting, in the electrolysis with chuimbo and stainless steel I obtained a brown powder that I believe to be calcium oxide, metal oxide, magnesium oxide.]
I made a video showing this extraction with the stones of my region

but my big question is:

Has anyone managed to remove magnesium from stones?
