Aragonite is vital for the survival of many organisms on Earth, as it is a key mineral that invertebrates use to build their shells and hard parts. The beautiful colors seen in many seashells showcase Aragonite’s diverse hues and its ability to form easily at the Earth's surface. Aragonite and calcite are known as ‘polymorphs’—minerals with the same chemical makeup but different crystal structures. They often exist together and are so alike that only a trained geologist typically needs to tell them apart. While calcite is generally more stable and widespread in today’s oceans, Aragonite was more prevalent during certain periods in Earth's history. Both minerals share almost identical physical characteristics.
