Rhodochrosite is a pink or red carbonate mineral that gets its color from manganese, the same element that gives Rhodonite its rosy pink color. It occurs as a hydrothermal vein mineral that, in the right conditions, precipitates out of heated mineral rich water within the earths crust. It was discovered in the silver mines of Romania and since been found in Argentina, South Africa, China, and Colorado in the USA. Rhodochrosite is the official state mineral of Colorado.
