Aragonite
Aragonite is a common carbonate mineral. Aragonite is a polymorph of calcite, which means that it has the same chemistry as calcite but it has a different structure, and more importantly, different symmetry and crystal shapes. It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments.
