Aragonite and Apophylite

This category contains natural Aragonite and Apophyllite crystal specimens, known for their striking crystal formations and mineralogical significance. Aragonite is a calcium carbonate mineral (CaCO₃), often forming radiating clusters or twinned crystals, and is commonly found in sedimentary and hydrothermal environments. It is chemically identical to calcite but forms in a different crystal structure. Apophyllite is a hydrated potassium calcium silicate mineral, typically forming transparent to translucent crystals with high luster, often in association with zeolites. These minerals are prized for their clarity, crystal habits, and educational value in demonstrating mineral formation. Each specimen is natural and ethically sourced, with geological origin and formation details provided where available. This category is ideal for mineral collectors, geology students, and those interested in crystallography. The collection highlights the diversity and beauty of naturally occurring mineral specimens found in Earth’s crust.
