Rhodochrosite is a soft semiprecious gem, and the state mineral of Colorado, which is home to some of the best specimens of rhodochrosite. Rhodocrosite’s name comes from the Greek words for “rose-colored”--an accurate name for this blossoming stone with pink to red hues.

The Inca people believed that rhodochrosite is the blood of former rulers turned to stone; hence, rhodochrosite is sometimes called “rosa del Inca” or “Inca Rose.” This led to the trade name Rosinca, referring specifically to Argentinean rhodochrosite.
