Rhodochriosite

Rhodochrosite, a manganese carbonate mineral, is a minor ore of manganese used principally as a decorative stone and gemstone. It normally has shiny, rose-red, intricately banded surfaces. Rhodochrosite occurs in moderate- to low-temperature hydrothermal ore veins, particularly of silver, lead, zinc, and copper, as well as in high-temperature metamorphic deposits.
