Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817) initially named the rhodochrosite manganese spar, taking into account its chemical composition and good Cleavability. Friedrich Hausmann (1782-1859) gave rhodochrosite its current name "rhodochrosite" in 1813. This is derived from the ancient Greek words "rhodo" (rose) and "chrosit" (color). Spellings such as rhodhocrosite, rhodochosite, rhodocrosite, rodhocrhosite, rodochrosite or rodocrosite are therefore incorrect. Nowadays, obsolete names for Rhodochrosite are Inkaspat/Inkarose, raspberry spar, rose spar and manganese spar.
