Codex entry

  1. Entry 1

    Paleolithic artists at Lascaux and Ekain ground pyrolusite and romanechite into black pigments, creating cave paintings that have endured roughly 17,000 years.

  2. Entry 2

    Colorado's Sweet Home Mine near Alma produced the world's finest rhodochrosite crystal, the "Alma King," prompting Colorado to designate rhodochrosite as its official state mineral in 2002.

  3. Entry 3

    Ancient Romans used pyrolusite as "glassmakers' soap" - small amounts oxidized iron impurities and removed the greenish tint from molten glass, producing clear colorless vessels.
