Aragonite is the secret behind the survival of countless Earth creatures, powering the creation of shells and hard structures in many invertebrates. Next time you’re captivated by a vibrant seashell’s colors, remember you’re witnessing Aragonite’s dazzling palette—and its fearless ability to form effortlessly on the planet’s surface.

Aragonite and calcite are ‘polymorphs,’ meaning they share the same chemical composition but have slightly different crystal structures. These minerals often occur together and look so much alike that telling them apart usually matters only to professional geologists. While calcite is generally more stable and common in today’s seas, Aragonite was the more prevalent form during certain periods in Earth’s history. Both minerals have almost identical physical properties, making this two-tone crystal cluster from Tazouta, Morocco, a wonderful example for anyone interested in natural mineral formations.
