Rhodochrosite: Argentina’s Inca Rose

Rhodochrosite is a member of the calcite group of trigonal carbonate minerals . The variety of massive rhodochrosite called the “Inca rose” is translucent to opaque and adorned with delicate banding, its colors range from intense rose-red to every shade of pink. Most eye-catching are polished slabs of rare stalactitic Inca rose adorned with their signature patterns of colorful, surreal, concentric rings.

Red roses are a big part of the culture of Argentina. Since European immigrants introduced the flowers in the early 1800s, they have evolved into the beloved, however unofficial, national symbol of love, beauty and strength. The famed rose gardens of Buenos Aires are one of that capital city’s major attractions. Red roses also figure prominently in Argentinian art and festivals; they are even an economic factor as the nation’s third-largest export.

Manganese Carbonate

Rhodochrosite (manganese carbonate, MnCO3) has a Mohs Scale of Hardness of 3.5-4.5, a specific gravity of 3.5-3.6 and, like calcite, perfect, three-directional cleavage. When pure, rhodochrosite is a deep rose-red, a color that calcium and magnesium ions often lighten to pink and zinc ions alter to brownish-yellow.

Although known since antiquity, rhodochrosite was not scientifically described until 1813. Its name stems from the Greek words  rhodon,  meaning “rose” and  chrōs,  “color.”

Rhodochrosite is widely distributed, but uncommon. As a hydrothermal-vein mineral, it occurs primarily as a minor component of multimetal sulfide deposits, with one major exception—Argentina’s Capillitas Mining District.

Argentina’s Rhodochrosite Bonanza

A remote, 10,000-foot-high mining district in the Andean foothills of northeast Argentina’s Catamarca Province, Capillitas is the sole source of Inca rose. This deposit formed seven million years ago when volcanics intruded Paleozoic granite and associated, metal-rich, hydrothermal fluids-filled fractures in both the newly emplaced volcanic rock and the surrounding granite.

The Capillitas deposit has 19 known veins, some more than 2,000 feet in length. All consist of rhodochrosite carrying substantial amounts of copper and traces of gold , silver , lead and zinc. The rhodochrosite occurs almost exclusively as banded masses; crystals are rare and less than one-quarter inch in size.

Capillitas, the world’s largest rhodochrosite deposit, is also Argentina’s most mineralogically diverse deposit. Mineralogists have identified 150 mineral species at the district’s two dozen mines and the district is the type locality for five minerals.

The Capillitas Mines

Archaeological evidence indicates that the Incas began mining placer gold at Capillitas in the 1300s. The Spanish mined copper during the 1700s and early 1800s and were followed by a succession of British, German, and Argentinian mining companies that continued to extract copper through the 1900s.

For centuries, the area’s remoteness, high elevation, rugged terrain, and lack of smelting fuel hindered development of the Capillitas mines. Mule trains hauled hand-sorted ore 30 miles to a lower mill site for processing. Finally, in 1903, engineers constructed a 16-mile-long aerial tramway to convey buckets of ore to the distant mill. This tramway operated until 1912 when a road was built to link the mines with the mill. In the 1930s, the Argentine military took control of the Capillitas mines.

Rhodochrosite: Inca Rose

Geological reports had long noted the abundance of colorful, banded rhodochrosite at Capillitas, but failed to attract outside attention. Then in the 1930s, miners blasted into a small vug filled with rhodochrosite stalactites. Polished stalactitic cross sections, only a few inches in diameter but complex in their colors and concentric structures, soon caught the eyes of lapidaries and jewelers in Buenos Aires.

Although only available in very limited quantities, this stalactitic material focused attention on the district’s large quantities of vein material—the banded, massive rhodochrosite that for centuries had been tossed aside as worthless. Demand grew rapidly, and miners began collecting and selling pieces of the vein rhodochrosite to visiting buyers. As cabochons and carvings fashioned from this banded rhodochrosite became hugely popular, Buenos Aires jewelers coined the marketing names “rosa del Inca,” “rosinca,” and “Inca rosa,” the latter becoming the English “Inca rose.”

Stalactite Caves 

Inca rose first attracted international attention after 1986 when miners blasted into an interconnected series of caverns, the largest 50 feet wide and 20 feet high. All were filled with stalactites and stalagmites up to five feet long and a foot in diameter, and consisting entirely of concentrically banded, pink-tored rhodochrosite.

Miners and the military officers who controlled the mines heavy-handedly collected and shipped 20 tons of these stalactites to Buenos Aires. Much more would have been shipped but military commanders, to avoid disrupting regular copper production, ordered the caves and their remaining stalactites destroyed—to the dismay of both geologists and lapidaries.

In 1987, slabbed-and-polished stalactitic Inca rose created a sensation at North American and European gem and mineral shows. The most acclaimed specimens, a foot in diameter, showed as many as 20 concentric ring structures, each the remnant of small, individual stalactites that had grown together into large, single stalactitic masses.

While copper production at Capillitas ended in 1997, miners still periodically work several of the district’s two dozen mines to extract banded Inca rose vein material for cabbing and ornamental use.

In 2002, legislators designated Inca rose as Argentina’s official national stone. Today, cabochon jewelry and carvings fashioned from Capillitas rhodochrosite are iconic souvenirs of Argentina. Popular throughout the country and abroad, they are a fitting tribute to Argentina’s Inca rose and its “rose culture.”

Capt. Paul's Opinion

My first choice for a luxury, motor yacht, cruise.

There are not a lot of really luxury, private, charter boats in Aruba.

Eden Luca is probably the best. She has been entirely refitted by her owner over a year in 2021/2022. She is now ready to accommodate you, your partner, your friends or family for a unique experience.

Be aware you may end up on many Instagram accounts while cruising along Aruba's coast.

History of Novosibirsk

Foundation of novosibirsk.

Novosibirsk is a city with a very interesting history. Unlike many other cities in Russia, it does not have a specific founder. Since the 18th century, on the left bank of the Ob, one of the largest rivers in the world, there was the village of Krivoshchekovo, where migrants from the European provinces of the Russian Empire lived. However, it did not become the basis of Novosibirsk. The city was born on the other, right, bank of the Ob, when the Trans-Siberian Railway approached it in 1893.

Originally it was just a village for the builders of a railway bridge across the Ob. It could turn out to be temporary and disappear after the completion of construction, if not for the combination of several factors that contributed to the development of trade - a large river, a railway, a flat relief convenient for building. At first, the village was named Alexandrovsky, in honor of Emperor Alexander III. For the third anniversary, it received a new name and became Novonikolaevsky, in honor of the Emperor Nicholas II.

In 1897, the first trains went across the bridge. The settlement was quickly growing. By 1898, there were already 7.8 thousand people in the village. In 1903, when the village acquired the status of a town with the name Novonikolaevsk, its population was 26 thousand people. In the 1910s, Novonikolaevsk experienced a construction boom. By 1913, the population of the city was 86 thousand people.

Novonikolaevsk, was the center of the major lines of communication, in which the navigable Ob River crossed with the Great Siberian Way and the Altai Railway. The First World War turned the city into the largest center for training troops beyond the Urals.

More Historical Facts…

Novosibirsk - the Siberian Chicago

In 1921, Novonikolaevsk received the status of the administrative center of the Novonikolaevsk Governorate. In 1925, it became the administrative center of the huge Siberian Krai - practically all the regions of Trans-Ural Russia.

The capital of the new huge region needed a new name. Here are just some of the proposed names: Krasnograd, Sibleninsk, Krasnoobsk, Sibkraisk, Sibkraigrad, Leningrad-on-Ob. On February 12, 1926, Novonikolaevsk (“a new city of Nicholas”) was renamed Novosibirsk (“a new city in Siberia”. In 1926, at the Regional Scientific Congress, it was decided to turn Novosibirsk into a “promsad” (“industrial garden”) or “city-garden”. About 120 thousand people lived in the city at that time. The city got the nickname “Siberian Chicago”.

The main elements of the renovated Siberian capital were supposed to be “social towns” - complex residential areas at factories and plants. New cadres were needed to build a new society. Novosibirsk quickly became a city of students. In the 1930s, 8 universities and 10 technical schools were opened here. The city became the Trans-Ural capital of such an architectural style as constructivism.

On July 30, 1930, due to the division of the Siberian Krai, Novosibirsk became the center of the West Siberian Krai. In 1934, a new railway bridge was built across the Ob River and the population grew to 294 thousand people. By 1939, it increased up to 406 thousand people. On September 28, 1937, the West Siberian Krai was divided into Novosibirsk Oblast with the capital in Novosibirsk and Altai Krai.

During the Second World War, the enlistment offices of Novosibirsk Oblast sent more than half a million soldiers to the front. There were 115 evacuation hospitals in the region. Almost 27% of all shells fired by the Red Army during the war were produced in Novosibirsk. Despite the fact that not a single bomb fell on the territory of Novosibirsk, the pre-war city disappeared forever. Instead of the planned residential areas/parks, industrial zones of evacuated factories appeared, a lot of buildings changed their civilian purpose to military-industrial (some of them - forever).

The evacuation radically changed the demography of Novosibirsk - people evacuated from Moscow and Leningrad brought with them a new way of life, new artistic tastes. A lot of them stayed in Novosibirsk after the war. During the war years, Novosibirsk also became the center of the musical culture of Siberia. The Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater, one of the main attractions of Novosibirsk, was opened on May 12, 1945.

Novosibirsk after the Second World War

The demographic inertia of the evacuation turned the pre-war Novosibirsk into a metropolis. By 1956, its population increased to 750 thousand people. On September 2, 1962, a millionth resident of the city was born. It took Novosibirsk only 70 years to achieve this status from the moment of its foundation, which made it the youngest of all million cities.

In 1950, the construction of the Novosibirsk hydroelectric power station began; a large reservoir was created, the so-called Ob Sea. The idea of creating a Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk was implemented in 1957. About 20 kilometers south of the center of Novosibirsk, in the middle of the forest, Akademgorodok was built - a town of scientists. In 1959, Novosibirsk State University was opened.

In 1979, construction of the metro began in Novosibirsk. Opened in 1985, it became the first one in the Trans-Ural part of Russia. Today, the Novosibirsk metro has 13 stations and annually carries about 70 million passengers.

In 1990, the bridge that had given rise to the city was reconstructed. To preserve the memory of the first builders, one of its span structures was installed on the embankment of the Ob in the park “Gorodskoye Nachalo”.

The transition to a market economy led to a sharp drop in production. High-tech industries, such as radioelectronics, microelectronics, instrument making, and aircraft construction suffered especially heavy losses. In 1991-1998, industrial production in Novosibirsk decreased by more than 3 times.

In the 1990s, the economic structure of the Novosibirsk region and Novosibirsk underwent fundamental changes. The main structural change was that the production of services in the city began to exceed the production of goods, the role of industry decreased, the share of transport, trade, communications, agriculture, and a lot of branches of market services increased.

Thus, the potential points of growth of Novosibirsk reproduced on a new historical, technological, and institutional basis the initial system of its development priorities: a large transport hub in the system of transnational transport corridors, a trade, intermediary, and financial center - the center of Siberia, a large business, scientific, educational, and cultural center.

In the 21st century, Novosibirsk became the first Russian city (after Moscow and St. Petersburg) to exceed the population of 1.5 million.

Novosibirsk - Features

Novosibirsk is the most populous city in the Asian part of Russia. It is located in the southeastern part of the West Siberian Plain on both banks of the Ob River next to the Novosibirsk reservoir. The width of the Ob River within the city is 750-850 meters. The City Day of Novosibirsk is celebrated on the last Sunday of June.

The city is located in the continental climatic zone. The flatness of the territory allows both cold waves from the north and heat waves from the southwest to freely spread. That’s why both severe frosts and short-term thaws can be observed in winter. The duration of winter is 120-130 days, summer - about 90 days. The average air temperature in January is minus 16.5 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 19.4 degrees Celsius.

On the coat of arms of Novosibirsk you can see a schematic image of the Ob River and the bridge across it, part of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which gave rise to the city.

The economy of Novosibirsk is based on industry, trade, transport, science, and scientific services. The city is successfully developing in the absence of large resource-extracting enterprises in the region, which distinguishes it from most large cities in Siberia.

The main activities of industrial production are: production of food, computers, electronic and optical products, chemicals, vehicles and equipment, metallurgy, beverage production. Novosibirsk is one of the leading suppliers of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants and research reactors in Russia and abroad.

Novosibirsk is the largest scientific center in the Asian part of Russia. More than 100 organizations carry out research and development in this city. There are about three dozen higher educational institutions here.

It is the largest transport hub in Siberia connecting Siberia, the Far East, Central Asia with the European regions of Russia. Novosibirsk is also a river port. The city is served by Tolmachevo International Airport, the largest in terms of passenger traffic in the Asian part of Russia. The airport is located at the intersection of a large number of flights from Southeast Asia to Europe and from North America to India and Asia.

Novosibirsk was the only city in Russia located in two time zones. Since its foundation, it was growing in two parts along different banks of the Ob. And since the meridian of the hour passed right along the Ob River, there were two time zones in one city. On the left bank, the difference with Moscow was 3 hours, and on the right bank - 4 hours. At first, this did not cause much inconvenience as each half lived quite apart. In 1955, when the first road bridge across the Ob was built, the city became more connected. In 1958, Novosibirsk switched to a single time zone.

Despite its young age, Novosibirsk has 145 monuments of architecture, history, monumental art and archeology taken under state protection. 47 monuments of wooden architecture of the late 19th - early 20th centuries are of particular value. There are also over a dozen different museums in Novosibirsk.
