WHAT IS RHODOCHROSITE?

Rhodochrosite (pronounced “rode-a-CROW-sight”) is a mineral that is composed primarily of manganese carbonate (MnCO3). It is also called Raspberry Spar. Its name comes from the Greek word for “rose-colored,” although the mineral’s color can range from pink, red or rosy red to yellow, gray or brown. Rhodochrosite has a brittle, conchoidal (irregular and glass-like) fracture, a glassy luster and a hardness of 3.5 to 4.
