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]
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.
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.
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.
Manganocalcite. Manganoan calcite or manganocalcite is a variety of calcite rich in manganese, which gives the mineral a pink color. [1] Its chemical formula is (Ca,Mn)CO 3.It was first reported from the Banská Štiavnica Mining District, Slovak Republic, [1] but is widely distributed around the world, notably in the Cave of Swords at Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico as well as in Bulgaria.

Manganese is a chemical element; it has symbol Mn and atomic number 25. It is a hard, brittle, silvery metal, often found in minerals in combination with iron. Manganese was first isolated in the 1770s. It is a transition metal with a multifaceted array of industrial alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels. It improves strength ...
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. Some of these compounds are used as a catalyst and as fertilizer. [3]
