Aragonite is essential for many of Earth's organisms, especially invertebrates, which rely on this mineral to build their shells and hardened structures. The vibrant colors of seashells you admire owe much to Aragonite’s variety of hues and its ability to form easily near the Earth's surface.

Aragonite and calcite are unique polymorphs—minerals with the same chemical composition but distinct crystal structures. Often found together, they are so alike that only expert geologists can distinguish between them. While calcite is more stable and widespread in today’s seas, Aragonite was once the predominant and more stable form in Earth’s history. Their nearly identical physical traits make this Aragonite specimen a fascinating and valuable addition for mineral collectors seeking both beauty and geological significance.
