It is the high-pressure low-temperature dimorph of rhodonite.It was first described in 1913 and named for the mineral group pyroxenes and is known as the manganese member. It forms a series with pyroxferroite.Pyroxmangite occurs in metamorphosed ore deposits rich in manganese. Associated minerals include spessartine tephroite alleghanyite hausmannite pyrophanite alabandite rhodonite and rhodochrosite.
