History and Uses

This crystal was first found in 1813 in silver mines in Romania and is named from the Greek word rhodokhros meaning “of rosy colour”. Pure Rhodochrosite is quite rare. In its purest form, it is typically pale pink or rose-red. However, its colour can vary from shades of pink, deep red, orange to pale brown.

Geological Description

Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate with a hardness of 3.5 to 4. It mostly occurs in massive, granular, botryoidal, nodular or stalactitic habits. The most important deposit of Rhodochrosite is in Argentina. It formed in the Incan Silver mines after they were abandoned in the Thirteenth Century. Quality specimens have also been found in Colorado.
