- Description: An aragonite bowl consisting of a variety of beige and cream tones.
- Additional information: Aragonite, widely distributed mineral, the stable form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at high pressure. It differs from calcite, the more common form of calcium carbonate, in its greater hardness and higher specific gravity. Aragonite is always found in deposits formed near the earth's surface at low temperatures, such as: B. in caves in the form of stalactites, in the oxidized zone of ore minerals (with lead substitutes instead of calcium), in serpentine and other basic rocks, in sediments and in iron ore deposits. Aragonite is the mineral usually found in pearls. It is polymorphic (same chemical formula but different crystal structure) with calcite and Vaterite and is likely to turn into calcite over geological time even under normal conditions.
