Aragonite is a carbonate mineral (CaCO3) that shares the same

chemical formula as calcite, but features an

orthorhombic crystal structure. It is distinct for

its delicate, needle-like or branching "Flos Ferri"

(iron flowers) formations, vivid color variations,

and natural biogenic origins in pearls and coral.
