Manganocalcite - Tumbled Stone

Manganocalcite is a fascinating mineral composed of calcium carbonate and manganese, belonging to the Calcite family. Its color can vary from pale pink to deep pink, depending on the concentration of manganese it contains. It is not uncommon to find white inclusions of calcite in this crystal, sometimes in the form of delicate bands. This mineral was first discovered in 1846 by A. Breithaupt in Banská, Štiavnica, Slovakia. Its name refers to the presence of manganese, which sparked a debate about the precise definition of true Mangano Calcite versus simple pink calcite. A consensus was eventually reached, establishing a threshold of 30% manganese in the crystal structure.

Deposits of this stone come from Romania, Peru, Bulgaria, Mexico, Madagascar, Russia, Australia and Japan.
