Size of the rhodochrosite, polished on both sides: approx. 10 x 9 cm; weight: approx. 355 g
Origin: Argentina
The name Rhodochrosite comes from the Greek word rhodochroos, meaning “rose-colored.” It was given to the mineral in 1813 by Johann F. L. Hausmann, but was criticized shortly thereafter by Johann F. A. Breithaupt as “sounding unpleasant and difficult to pronounce.” Breithaupt proposed the alternative terms “rosenspat” and “himbeerspat,” while Abraham Gottlob Werner suggested the name “manganspat.” However, Rhodochrosite has become the established name. There are numerous other synonyms, such as red or air-oxidized brownstone ore, dense redstone, red manganese ore, cobalt manganite, Incarose, or red spath.
