Aragonite is a superstar mineral that many of Earth’s creatures rely on to build their shells and hard parts. So, the next time you admire a colorful seashell, you’re actually celebrating Aragonite’s dazzling color palette and its knack for forming right at the surface. Aragonite and calcite are like mineral twins—they share the same chemistry but have slightly different crystal styles. They often hang out together and look so much alike that only geologists really care to tell them apart. Nowadays, calcite steals the spotlight as the more stable mineral, but back in the day, Aragonite was the reigning champ. Their physical features? Nearly the same, making these minerals a dynamic duo in disguise!
