DetailsRhodochrosite is a rare manganese carbonate gemstone that commonly has alternating light and dark bands of pink and brown. When pulverized, the powder is a beautiful peachy color. This batch of material is from Argentina, which is a world-class location for rhodochrosite deposits. This rhodochrosite was formed by continuous precipitation of manganese carbonate, similar to cave formations of stalactites and stalagmites on the roof and floor of a cavern, respectively. This mineral is relatively soft, with a Mohs hardness that varies between 3.5 and 4 - PERFECT for woodworkers or ring makers. This would be a great mineral for your higher-end projects, especially resin jewelry!
Material Size:
Fine - material is considered to be very fine to powder (silt size).
This product is NOT man-made, mixed with resin, or stabilized. Stone authenticity is extremely important to all artisans; therefore, we validate the source of all our minerals before they are crushed! All of our minerals are handpicked by me (Missy!) at some of the largest mineral shows in the United States. :)
Please see product images for color, approximate size, and quality. Picture taken in full sun - material is dry. -

I'm working on developing all natural finishes for electric guitars that out perform petroleum based finishes... Especially ethically. One problem with most (otherwise natural) boiled linseed oil (aka flaxseed oil) is that they contain heavy metal driers of nefarious origins. I like to know where all my ingredients come from. One chemical commonly used as a dryer in wood finishing oils (to help them cure faster) is Manganese Carbonate (MnCO3). Another name for MnCO3 is Rhodochrosite. I'm super pleased that I found a source for this mineral that is all natural and traceable to it's origins. I'm ordering the crushed Howlite next for experiments using it as a white pigment. Thanks so much! Jason from Atlanta Earth Guitars LLC
