Aragonite is a beautiful mineral that forms in caves and the ocean. It can be found in many colors like white, pink, and blue. Some people use aragonite to make jewelry and decorations.
The Aragonite often forms needle-like crystals or branching, coral-like structures called flos ferri. It can be colorless, white, yellow, or even vibrant blue, sometimes appearing as delicate, radiating sprays. Its unique crystal shapes and often acicular habit help distinguish it.
