Aragonite is a beloved mineral specimen for collectors, due to the varied colours and crystal formations it can form in. One of the most popular is the 'sputnik', a twinned, radiating form which was named after the Russian satellite. Aragonite is too soft for most jewellery usage, although it is sometimes sold as beads or cabochons.

Corals nucleate and grow aragonite crystals, organizing them into intricate skeletal structures that ultimately build the world's coral reefs. Crystallography and chemistry have profound influence on the material properties of these skeletal building blocks, yet gaps remain in our knowledge about coral aragonite on the atomic scale.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION At room P and T, calcite is the thermodynamically stable form, and aragonite exists metastably because of its sluggish conversion rate to calcite. At room P, the aragonite-to-calcite transition depends on several factors, such as chemical composition, humidity, pres-ence of calcite nuclei, grain size, and strain (Carlson

Once referred to in the Bahamas as "White Gold" and "Aragonite", what is actually under the water is a calcium carbonate mineral sand. In certain isolated locations what appears to be white sand is actually a near pure calcium carbonate mineral known as Oolitic Aragonite. Nearly 100% pure, Oolitic Aragonite has only small traces of other elements.

Aragonite, a calcium carbonate mineral, was first reported by Dana (1868) and is known from both Franklin and Sterling Hill. It is relatively uncommon and was found in abundance but once; calcite is much more common locally. The known occurrences are secondary; aragonite occurs as acicular crystals and druses in veins and cavities.

Description Aragonite is a carbonate mineral, one of the two common, naturally occurring polymorphs of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. The other polymorph is the mineral calcite. Aragonite's crystal lattice differs from that of calcite, resulting in a different crystal shape, an orthorhombic system with acicular crystals.

Aragonite is the crystal form of calcium carbonate. This chemical compound occurs naturally in rocks most notably as limestone. From a chemical perspective aragonite is identical to the mineral calcite . It forms under slightly different geological conditions so has a different crystal structure. Limestone contains both aragonite and calcite.

This unique mineral is called Oolitic Aragonite.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) occurs in two major polymorphs: rhombohedral calcite and orthorhombic aragonite, the latter is thermodynamically metastable. In this study, we first prepared aragonite needle-like particles by introducing CO2-containing gas into Ca(OH)2 aqueous slurry. Then, the resulted aragonite particles were heat treated at 500 °C for 1 h, in order to induce the aragonite ...

Aragonite is a form of calcium carbonate that is often of biological origin, such as in the shells of shellfish like bivalves. Aragonite though is unstable over long periods of time and the crystal structure of the mineral slowly reverts to the structure of calcite over time.

Aragonite, also known as Golfball or Sputnik Aragonite, is one of the three calcium carbonate minerals that naturally occurs within mother nature (the other two being Calcite and Vaterite). It's commonly found crystallized in the form of small prismatic crystals, masses, stalactites, and spherical radiating aggregates.

The aragonite seeds used in this study were synthesized prior to the experimental work. The majority of aragonite synthesis protocols use Mg as background electrolyte owing to the fact that this element inhibits calcite nucleation or growth (e.g., Bischoff, 1968, Zhang and Dawe, 2000).In order to reduce the presence of Mg in the synthesized aragonite, in the protocol developed in this study ...
