Stunning blue aragonite specimen Specimen - Height: 21 cm - Width: 16 cm- 4500 g - (1)

Aragonite is a carbonate mineral commonly found in marine environments as deposits or in cave formations like stalactites and stalagmites. This specimen features a stunning blue coloration, which is less common and highly prized among mineral collectors. Measuring 21 cm in height and 16 cm in width and weighing 4.5 kilograms, it is a substantial and impressive display piece. Blue aragonite forms when the mineral incorporates trace elements during its growth, resulting in its captivating hue. Its crystal system is orthorhombic, often creating needle-like or columnar crystal formations. This specimen's size and vivid color make it an attractive addition to mineral collections, offering insight into geological processes and the natural artistry of mineral structures. Aragonite's relatively soft nature means it is best displayed rather than used functionally, showcasing the beauty of natural mineral formations.
