The answer is Manganese. There is so much cool stuff about Manganese that I would keep reading if I were you.
Alright now to the facts!
Manganese Overview
Atomic Mass
Description
Hard, brittle, gray-white metal with a pinkish tinge. Rusts like iron in moist air.
Atomic Symbol
Mn (Manganese)

State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Most abundant ores are pyrolusite (MnO2), psilomelane [(Ba,H2O)2Mn5O10] and rhodochrosite (MnCO3). Pure metal produced by mixing MnO2 with powered Al and ignited in a furnace.
