	Rhodochrosite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO
		Rhodochrosite forms a complete solid solution series with the iron carbonate, siderite.
		Colorado recently made Rhodochrosite its State Mineral, due to action taken by a Colorado High School, from the Alma sample from the Sweet Home Mine.

	RHODOCHROSITE Chapter 23. Halides and carbonates
		At Franklin, rhodochrosite is known as massive material, and fine crystals occur associated with willemite and with fluorite.
		Rhodochrosite is a common constituent of the carbonate veins at Franklin, associated with willemite, dolomite, and serpentine and providing very attractive specimens.
		At Sterling Hill, as at Franklin, rhodochrosite is chiefly a vein mineral, occurring commonly with willemite and with serpentine, especially in the north orebody and the lower reaches of the mine, where calcite, sphalerite, and other minerals are associated (Figures 22-72 and 22-73).

		RHODOCHROSITE, a mineral species consisting of man- ganese carbonate, MnCO3, crystallizing in the rhombohedralsystem and isomorphous with calcite.
		Thename rhodochrosite, from the Greek ~o-xpo,s (rose- colored), has reference to the characteristic color of themineral: manganese-spar and dialogite are synonyms.
		Itis found in mineral veins with ores of silver, lead, copper, andc.,or in deposits of manganese ore. Crystals have been metwith in the mines at Kapnik-Bnya and Nagy~g near Dvain Transylvania and at Diez in Nassau, but by far the bestspecimens are from Colorado.

	Dave's Down To Earth Rock Shop Rhodochrosite!!!
		Rhodochrosite is a mineral of the calcite series, its name being derived from the Greek words rhodos, meaning rose and khros meaning color.
		Rhodochrosite forms in veins of copper, lead and silver which have been altered by hot water (hydro thermals), and as a secondary deposit in sedimentary layers of manganese oxide.
		Differentiating pink calcite from rhodochrosite may require a fluorescence test as rhodochrosite is distinctly non-fluorescent and manganese is a fluorescent activator in calcite.

		Rhodochrosite from Butte, Montana, is described and analyses of rhodochrosite and ankerite from Butte are given.
		The interest in rhodochrosite as a source of manganese has been heightened by the present emergency, and it was in the course of an investigation of manganese reserves at Butte, Montana, with Charles F. Park, Jr., that the writer decided that further quantitative study of some of the properties of rhodochrosite might be worthwhile.

		This specimen consists of two intergrown stalactites of rhodochrosite, the end of one and the center section of another (obviously there is no way to remove them complete when they are growing like this).
		What is particularly interesting is that you can see in the center of the larger one that it began as two little stalactites side-by-side, which were covered by a pinker rhodo in a later generation joining them into a single one.
		This is a 1 1/2 inch thick piece of rhodochrosite that has been cut and polished on one end to show the banding.

	Rhodochrosite, Sweet Home Mine, Colorado, Gemstones, Agates, Minerals, Rockhunting
		Rhodochrosite is a manganese mineral related to the ubiquitous mineral calcium carbonate, or, calcite (common limestone is made up primarily of calcite).
		Being manganese ore, the rhodochrosite crystals fouled up the silver processing and miners were encouraged to throw out as much of the rhodo as possible on the dump to avoid paying penalties at the mill.
		In the early 90's collector/dealer Bryan Lees was able to negotiate a lease on the mine and clear enough of the government red tape hurdles to pursue his aim of operating the mine solely for the purpose of producing fine specimens.

		Rhodochrosite is found in eighteen of Colorado’s counties associated with gold, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum ores.
		Rhodochrosite used to be discarded as waste on Sweet Home’s dumps but the large, deep red colored, perfectly formed rhombohedral specimens, which no other location produces, has now brought Sweet Home more fame as a rhodochrosite mine than it ever had as a silver mine.

	Mineralogical Record: Saddle-shaped rhodochrosite crystals from the Foote mine, North Carolina
		Both rhodochrosite and siderite have been found in abundance at the Foote mine, and a wide range of compositional variation between the two end-members is believed to exist at this locality.
		For the most part, specimens that are obviously rhodochrosite, those with a pale to deep pink color and more or less transparent, are found with apatite, albite, quartz and, quite often, parsettensite.
		The transparency of the rhodochrosite is often masked by a frosted surface, by a crust of a carbonate of differing composition, or by an altogether different mineral.
