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]
Pegmatite. A pegmatite is an igneous rock showing a very coarse texture, with large interlocking crystals usually greater in size than 1 cm (0.4 in) and sometimes greater than 1 meter (3 ft). Most pegmatites are composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica, having a similar silicic composition to granite.

They range from 1,180 m (3,870 ft), the surface elevation of Reedy Glacier, to about 2,200 m (7,200 ft) in elevation. In part, the Quartz Hills contains an extensive, low-angled slope, known as the Quartz Hills bench. It rises southward over a distance of about 4.5 km (2.8 mi) from about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) to more than 1,700 m (5,600 ft) in ...
