rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO3. In its pure form (rare), it is typically a rose-red colour, but it can also be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4.5. Its specific gravity is between 3.45 and 3.6. The crystal system of rhodochrosite is trigonal, with a structure and cleavage in the carbonate rhombohedral system. The carbonate ions () are arranged in a triangular planar configuration, and the manganese ions (Mn2+) are surrounded by six oxygen ions in an octahedral arrangement. The MnO6 octa

spherocobaltite
Spherocobaltite or sphaerocobaltite is the mineral form of Cobalt(II) carbonate (). It is a cobalt bearing member of the calcite group of carbonate minerals, crystallizing in the trigonal crystal system. Rare specimens of pure spherocobaltite typically show a rose-red color, but the color range of impure specimens extends to shades of pink and pale brown.
