PRODUCT INFORMATION
General Description
Smithsonite / Aragonite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, forming elongated prismatic crystals with distinct cleavage. It typically occurs in sedimentary environments, often as a product of biological processes such as the precipitation of calcium carbonate by marine organisms like corals and mollusks. Aragonite is known for its distinct colors, including white, colorless, yellow, green, blue, and brown, depending on impurities present during formation. It is also notable for its varied habits, occurring in stalactites, stalagmites, columnar aggregates, and other forms. Aragonite is less stable than calcite and can undergo transformation into calcite over geological time scales. he blue hue is a result of specific trace elements present during formation. Each specimen is unique, showcasing the natural beauty and geological significance of aragonite. A must-have for avid collectors and enthusiasts seeking rare and exceptional mineral specimens. Price is grade dependant. Items are as shown.Product Data
