Manganese Sulphate is an inorganic chemical compound found in anhydrous and hydrated forms but is a very rare natural mineral. The difference in these forms is of color and some of the properties. All hydrates of this manganese molecular entity are pink-colored solids. These salts are often available in mono, Hexa, tetra, Penta, and Hepta hydrated forms. This is a metal sulphate of manganese with some chronic hazards.

Manganese Sulphate appears as orthogonal crystals when it is anhydrous but has a monoclinic crystal structure in hydrated forms. Anhydrous forms are white crystals. It is a toxic substance. On decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of Sulphur oxides. It is slightly soluble in methanol but not soluble in ethanol and ether. This water-soluble compound is harmful if swallowed. Like other metal sulphates it also forms a variety of hydrates. Manganese Sulphate is probably a combustible compound.
