Rhodochrosite is used as jewelry and ornamental stone, rarely also for art objects. Archaeological finds of grave goods in ancient Egyptian tombs prove that Rhodochrosite is one of the oldest gemstones of the ancient world. As manganese oxide or manganese ore was later also used for the production of glazes, it cannot be ruled out that our prehistoric ancestors from Egypt and the Roman Empire repeatedly recovered this mineral as a by-product and then processed it accordingly.
The name Rhodochrosite comes from the Greek word rhodochroos = rose-colored. It was given to the mineral in 1813 by Johann F. L. Hausmann. There are numerous other synonyms, e.g. red or air-acid brown stone ore, dense red stone, red manganese ore, cobalt manganese spar, incarose or red spar.
