Pyroxmangite has the general chemical formula of MnSiO3.[5] It is the high-pressure, low-temperature dimorphofrhodonite.[2]

It was first described in 1913 and named for the mineral group, pyroxenes, and is known as the manganese member.[6] 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.[4]
