Description
Weight:162g Dimensions:83”68”22 Aragonite is a carbonate mineral, one of the two common, naturally occurring polymorphs of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). The other polymorph is calcite. Aragonite is formed through biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments. It has an orthorhombic crystal system, typically forming needle-like crystals that can cluster together. It is also characterized by its high specific gravity and birefringence. Aragonite specimens can be quite striking, often appearing in a variety of colors due to impurities, including white, green, yellow, blue, and pink. They are popular among mineral collectors for their aesthetic and crystal structure. Aragonite can be found in many locations around the world, including the famous deposits in Spain and Morocco.
