Rhodochrosite is used as jewelry and ornamental stone, rarely also for art objects. Archaeological finds of grave goods in ancient Egyptian tombs prove that Rhodochrosite is one of the oldest gemstones of the ancient world. As manganese oxide or manganese ore was later also used for the production of glazes, it cannot be ruled out that our prehistoric ancestors from Egypt and the Roman Empire repeatedly recovered this mineral as a by-product and then processed it accordingly.
The name Rhodochrosite comes from the Greek word rhodochroos = rose-colored. It was given to the mineral in 1813 by Johann F. L. Hausmann. There are numerous other synonyms, e.g. red or air-acid brown stone ore, dense red stone, red manganese ore, cobalt manganese spar, incarose or red spar.

Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
