Blue Aragonite from Afghanistan (275g) - hand cut

Blue aragonites are a rare form of aragonite, a carbonate mineral . Aragonite crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with the chemical formula CaCO3, so chemically it is a calcium carbonate.

There is a special variety of aragonite called zeiringite, which occurs as a sinter formation near copper deposits . Microscopic inclusions of auric chalcite color the aragonite in various blue tones and in many cases cause a silky shimmer (otherwise unusual for aragonite ) .

Aragonite can occur in various forms, including prismatic crystals and mineral aggregates that can be spherical, banded, columnar , dendritic ( tree - like ), parallel-fiber, radial, or acicular .

In its pure form, aragonite is colorless and transparent. Due to multiple refraction of light due to lattice construction defects or polycrystalline formation, it can also appear white and take on a gray, yellow, red, green, violet or blue color due to foreign admixtures .

The aragonite weighs 275g
