Rhodochrosite, this gentle pink-colored mineral, is a manganese carbonate mineral and the national symbol of Argentina, where most of it originates.

It's often confused with rhodonite, though rhodochrosite is significantly softer than its sister stone.

Rhodochrosite often appears in reddish-brown hues, with the finest specimens displaying a delicate pink color.

It was first discovered in silver mines in Romania, with larger deposits later found in Argentina.

It's primarily used as manganese ore. Among other things, this means rhodochrosite is one of the key components in making stainless steel. The more beautiful specimens are now popular among crystal and mineral collectors.

Particularly renowned are rhodochrosite slices, which often reveal stunning concentric bands in gentle pink or brownish tones. It's also cherished in its raw form, resembling blooming cherry trees.
