Manganese carbonate is a compound with the chemical formula Mn CO 3. Manganese carbonate occurs naturally as the mineral rhodochrosite but it is typically produced industrially. It is a pale pink, water-insoluble solid. Approximately 20,000 metric tonnes were produced in 2005. [3]
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO 3. In its pure form (rare), it is typically a rose-red colour, [ 5 ] but it can also be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, [ 6 ] and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4.5.
Manganese is a silvery-gray metal that resembles iron. It is hard and very brittle, difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize. [11] Manganese and its common ions are paramagnetic. [12] Manganese tarnishes slowly in air and oxidizes ("rusts") like iron in water containing dissolved oxygen. [13]
Kutnohorite is a rare calcium manganese carbonate mineral with magnesium and iron that is a member of the dolomite group. It forms a series with dolomite, and with ankerite.The end member formula is CaMn 2+ (CO 3) 2, [6] but Mg 2+ and Fe 2+ commonly substitute for Mn 2+, with the manganese content varying from 38% to 84%, [2] so the formula Ca(Mn 2+,Mg,Fe 2+)(CO 3) 2 better represents the species.
Ankerite, also known as brown spar [5]: 258 (German: braunspat) is a calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese carbonate mineral of the group of rhombohedral carbonates with the chemical formula Ca(Fe,Mg,Mn)(CO 3) 2.
Manganese(II) acetate are chemical compounds with the formula Mn(CH 3 CO 2) 2 ·(H 2 O)n where n = 0, 2, 4. These materials are white or pale pink solids. These materials are white or pale pink solids.

Zinc, magnesium, and manganese commonly substitute for the iron, resulting in the siderite-smithsonite, siderite-magnesite, and siderite-rhodochrosite solid solution series. [ 3 ] Siderite has Mohs hardness of 3.75 to 4.25, a specific gravity of 3.96, a white streak and a vitreous or pearly luster .
