Sparkling White Cave Calcite Aragonite natural cluster 'Grow' 260g SN34583

A beautiful sparkling pure white Cave Calcite cluster.

These clusters are not actually Calcite but Aragonite. Calcite and Aragonite are sister minerals both being Calcium Carbonate. They have different crystal lattices that form differently shaped crystals but their main difference is where they form.

Calcite forms in warm water environments (hot springs, thermal vents, your kettle) whereas Aragonite forms in cold water environments (the oceans and seas as the shells and hard bodies of marine creatures such as mussels, prawns, crabs and the endoskeleton of corals).

Cave Calcite forms on the interior walls of caves in a similar way to stalactites and stalagmites.

This Aragonite comes from Mina Potosi, Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico.
