Blue Aragonite from Afghanistan (1618g) - Exceptional size

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 aurichalcite color the aragonite in various blue tones and in many cases cause a silky shimmer (otherwise unusual for aragonite ) .

Aragonite can occur in a variety of forms, including prismatic crystals and mineral aggregates that may be spherical, banded , columnar , dendritic (tree - like), parallel-fibered, radially rayed, or acicular .

In its pure form, aragonite is colorless and transparent. Due to multiple light refractions caused by lattice defects or polycrystalline formation, it can also appear white and , due to foreign impurities, take on a grey, yellow, red, green , violet or blue colour .
