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.

Rhodochrosite 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, where it formed in the Incan Silver mines after they were abandoned in the Thirteenth century. Quality specimens have also been found in Colorado.
