Mineral (Aragonite)

Historical & Geological Background

Aragonite is a naturally occurring polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), forming under specific environmental conditions such as marine settings, caves, and hydrothermal systems. It is commonly found in stalactites and in mineral deposits around hot springs, where slow crystallisation creates its characteristic branching or fibrous structures.

The name aragonite originates from the Aragon region in Spain, where it was first identified. Its intricate, tree-like crystal formations have led to the nickname “iron flower”, describing its delicate yet structured appearance.
