its main use is as an ore of manganese, which is a key component of low-cost stainless steel formulations and certain aluminium alloys. quality banded specimens are often used for decorative stones and jewelry. due to its being relatively soft, and having perfect cleavage, it is very difficult to cut, and therefore rarely found faceted in jewelry. 









































manganese carbonate is extremely destructive to the amalgamation process used in the concentration of silver ores, and were often discarded on the mine dump.
