Fantastically patterned Slabs of Rhodochrosite
Size of the Rhodochrosite polished on both sides approx. 10 x 9cm, weight approx. 355g
Origin: Argentina
The name Rhodochrosite comes from the Greek word rhodochroos = rose-colored. It was given to the mineral in 1813 by Johann F. L. Hausmann, but was criticized shortly afterwards by Johann F. A. Breithaupt as "ill-sounding and difficult to pronounce". Breithaupt suggested the alternative terms rose spar and raspberry spar, while Abraham Gottlob Werner proposed the name manganese spar. Rhodochrosite, however, has prevailed. There are numerous other synonyms, e.g. red or air-acid brownstone ore, dense redstone, red manganese ore, cobalt manganese spar, incarose or red spar.
