Aragonite is essential for the survival of many Earth’s creatures, especially invertebrates that rely on this mineral to build their shells and hard structures. The vibrant hues found in seashells showcase the variety of colors Aragonite presents, reflecting its natural formation process at the Earth's surface.

Aragonite and calcite are ‘polymorphs’, minerals that have the same chemical composition but slightly different crystal structures. Both minerals can occur together and are so similar to one another that distinguishing between them is seldom important to anyone but a professional geologist. Calcite is more stable and common than Aragonite under the chemistry of our modern seas, but at times in the Earth’s past, Aragonite was the more stable and common form. The two minerals are nearly identical in their physical properties.
