Pink Mangano Calcite

cience & Origin of Mangano Calcite

Mangano Calcite, also known as Manganoan Calcite, is a manganese calcium carbonate mineral and member of the Calcite family. Its color can range from light to dark pink depending on the amount of Manganese in it. It's common to have white inclusions of Calcite within this crystal, sometimes in a banding formation. This mineral was first discovered in 1846 by A. Breithaupt in Banská, Štiavnica, Slovakia. He named it in reference to the inclusion of Manganese found within, thus setting up a debate regarding what true Mangano Calcite actually is compared to what is just simply, pink calcite. Eventually an agreement was reached and a 30% threshold of Manganese (carbonate) within the crystal structure was established.
