Aragonite is a mineral form of calcium carbonate, like calcite, but with a different crystal structure. It’s often found in sedimentary rocks, especially in areas with hot springs or in the shells of marine organisms like corals and mollusks. Aragonite crystals are typically needle-like or prismatic and can occur in various colors, including white, yellow, brown, and blue. It’s prized for its beauty and is used in jewelry, decorative items, and as a source of calcium in agriculture and industry.
