In every green leaf it splits water and sets oxygen free. The breath you are taking right now once passed through this metal — the same one that hardens steel and stains glass violet.

Manganese. Element twenty-five. Hardens steel. Colors stained glass purple. Lives in every chloroplast, splitting water into oxygen — without it, no breath.

Lab note · Atomic number 25; ≈12 mg in the body, mostly in bone and liver. In the chloroplast it splits water into oxygen.
