Metamorphosed sedimentary manganese ore hosted in Paleozoic metasediments. Includes a complex rhodonite vein emplaced along a fault plane between quartzite and slate.

In Japanese articles, a deposit which has variation of yielded manganese minerals just like Kaso mine is called "Kaso-type deposit" originated from this mine name.
Characteristics of Kaso-type deposits are: mainly rhodonite and tephroite (thermometamorphically formed manganese silicates), accompanied by braunite, alabandite and manganese-carbonates with deep purple colour.
