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. Its specific gravity is between 3.45 and 3.6. [7]
Manganese carbonate occurs naturally as the mineral rhodochrosite but it is typically produced industrially. It is a pale pink, water-insoluble solid. It is a pale pink, water-insoluble solid. Approximately 20,000 metric tonnes were produced in 2005.

Siderite is a mineral composed of iron(II) carbonate (FeCO 3).Its name comes from the Ancient Greek word σίδηρος (sídēros), meaning "iron".A valuable iron ore, it consists of 48% iron and lacks sulfur and phosphorus.
This list includes those recognised minerals beginning with the letter R.The International Mineralogical Association is the international group that recognises new minerals and new mineral names; however, minerals discovered before 1959 did not go through the official naming procedure, although some minerals published previously have been either confirmed or discredited since that date.
Cancers associated with PFAS-contaminated water include oral cavity/pharynx, brain, thyroid, and endocrine. PFAS are a class of thousands of chemicals used in manufacturing and consumer goods.
Rhodonite is a manganese inosilicate, with the formula (Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca)SiO 3, and member of the pyroxenoid group of minerals, crystallizing in the triclinic system. It commonly occurs as cleavable to compact masses with a rose-red color (its name comes from Ancient Greek ῥόδον (rhódon) 'rose'), often tending to brown due to surface oxidation.
A paleontologist hailed the discovery as "truly an unusual find," adding it helped explain the relationships in the prehistoric food chain.
