Other minerals frequently pseudomorph Aragonite. Calcite commonly pseudomorphs after Aragonite, and although it contains the same chemical composition and crystal forms as Aragonite, it is really Calcite. There are many Aragonite crystals sold to collectors that are in fact really Calcite pseudomorphs after Aragonite.

Since the true identity of microcrystalline forms of Aragonite or Calcite may not be known, they may be mislabeled as the wrong mineral. Almost all Aragonite crystals are twinned growths of three individual crystals that form pseudohexagonal trilling s.

Aragonite is a carbonate mineral, one of the two common, naturally occurring, crystal forms of calcium carbonate, Ca C O 3 (the other form being the mineral calcite). It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments.

Dry Aragonite. A sea calcium that is exceptionally high in calcium and low in magnesium. Many soils have had dolomite lime added for years and the magnesium may be tying up other nutrients in the soil. Gypsum and aragonite should be used to offset a high magnesium content soil.

Aragonite's crystal lattice differs from that of calcite, resulting in a different crystal shape, an orthorhombic system with acicular crystals.

The Mineral aragonite. Aragonite and the more common mineral Calcite are polymorphous to each other. Although Aragonite and Calcite contain the same chemical composition, they differ in crystal structure. Aragonite forms orthorhombic crystals, whereas Calcite forms trigonal crystals. Sometimes the crystals of Aragonite and Calcite are too small to be detected, and it is only possible to distinguish these two minerals by complex scientific optical tests.

When you buy aragonite you are receiving calcium that is highly soluble and can be applied spring or fall. Aragonite goes to work the moment it comes in contact with the soil. Aragonite brings 39% calcium, less than 1% magnesium with an array of trace minerals like boron, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc. Aragonite in its raw state (not dried) brings to the soil some biological benefits.

We have seen on countless farms that by applying aragonite to the soil we are able to limit the amount of fertilizer that is needed to grow a quality crop. We believe this all happens because the aragonite stimulates the microbial life in the soil which in turn makes the nutrients available for plant utilization.
