Geology & Origin
Pyroxmangite and Rhodonite are manganese silicates typically found in metamorphosed manganese deposits. In the Sunny Side Mine, they formed through hydrothermal activity within manganese-rich ore veins and often occur together with Quartz, Calcite, and other associated minerals. This classic locality in Colorado is well known for its fine and vividly colored manganese silicates, valued for their structure and distinctive coloration.
