Hodgkinsonite is a rare zinc manganese silicate mineral Zn2MnSiO4(OH)2. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and typically forms radiating to acicular prismatic crystals with variable color from pink yellow-red to deep red. Hodgkinsonite was discovered in 1913 by H. H. Hodgkinson for whom it is named in Franklin New Jersey and it is only found in that area.
