Aragonite

Aragonite is a mineral belonging to the carbonate group, composed of calcium carbonate with the chemical formula CaCO3. It is a polymorph of the more commonly known mineral calcite, meaning they have the same chemical composition but different crystal structures. Aragonite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, forming elongated prismatic crystals or twinned formations.
