As Manganese, my career is Jewelry making. I mostly make jewelry with Amethyst in it because I am responsible for its coloring. I work very hard on its beautiful purple color. I hope one day my jewelry will make me a lot of money!

             Manganese Poem

Manganese was discovered by a man named Johann,

It just happens to be that his last name was Gahn.

The element is sometimes found in ocean deposits,

No, I don’t think Manganese would be found in your closets.

Mn is responsible for the color of the Amethyst gem,

I wonder if Amethyst was colored purple on a whim.

Manganese was discovered sometime in 1774,

Maybe it was found on the ocean floor!

This element makes up 0.14% of the earth’s crust,

Learning about Manganese is definitely a must!
