Uses include steelmaking and ironmaking due largely to it's deoxidizing properties. Manganese is sometimes included in gasoline to boost the octane rating. It has also been used for glass coloring and making some types of paints.
Over 80% of the known world manganese resources are found in South Africa and Ukraine.

If there's a lot of manganese in your well water, it settles to the bottom and and makes oily sludge in your tank. It also stains your glassware a kind of golden color.

It's a transition metal and exists in a wide number of oxidation states. MnO4 is used in an organic synthesis reaction that I forget.
