Description: Aragonite is a carbonate mineral, orthorhombic mineral species of calcium carbonate but with a crystal structure different from those of Vaterite and Calcite, the other two polymorphs of the same composition. Also known as Aragon spar. The sample is generally banded due to the inclusion, at several levels (corresponding to certain stages of deposition) of impurities consisting of clay minerals, iron or manganese oxy-hydroxides, iron sulphides and organic substances.
