a carbonate mineral with the chemical formula of MnCO3
Is a mineral (manganese carbonate) whose color ranges from rose to pink to almost yellow or brown. It is a soft stone that is used in jewelry and for carvings and figurines.
Transluscent, light to dark pink manganese carbonate mineral. (4)
Similar to a pink Malachite. A medium to light pink opaque stone with cream or creamy-pink banding.
Rhodochrosite is a mineral whose color ranges from rose to pink to almost yellow or brown. Although it is very pretty, this stone is soft and brittle; it is used in jewelry and for carvings and figurines. Rhodochrosite is found in Argentina, Peru, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Russia, Italy, USA ( Colorado and Montana), and Romania.
(1836, from the Greek word rhodocros, meaning rose coloured) A mineral consisting essentially of manganese carbonate, rhodochrosite is most commonly found in ore veins and sedimentary deposits of pyrite and manganese ores. It is generally light to dark pink with white stripes and veins.
Derives its pink color from Manganese. Rhodochrosite occurs in veins associated with Manganese, Copper, Silver, and lead deposits.
A medium to light pink opaque stone with cream or creamy-pink banding resembling a pink version of malachite.
a mineral consisting mainly of manganese carbonate and usually occurring in rose-red crystals. [AHDOS
