Best Answer

It is mined, and extracted from: * pyrolusite (MnO2), * braunite (Mn2+Mn3+6SiO12), * psilomelane (Ba(Mn2+)(Mn4+)8O16(OH)4), and * to a lesser extent as rhodochrosite (MnCO3). The ore is processed similarly to iron ore to make steel, but requires higher temperatures.

Some authorities believe it is better for people to avoid manganese supplements altogether and increase their intake of foods known to contain significant amounts of the mineral.
