Crystal lore: 🌊 Calm🌳 Grounding💗 Love
Also known as: Spanish aragonite, Hexagonal aragonite
Variety of Aragonite.
📜 Key facts
| Age | Varies by deposit; many deposits are geologically young |
|---|---|
| Origin & sources | Molina de Aragón, Guadalajara, Spain, the region that gave aragonite its name. |
| Composition | Cyclic twins of three aragonite crystals that look like hexagonal prisms (pseudo-hexagonal). Aragonite is CaCO₃, like calcite, but with a different (orthorhombic) structure; Mohs 3.5–4. |
How it forms
Aragonite crystallizes from carbonate-rich water, often in warm or magnesium-rich conditions such as springs, caves and seawater (shells and pearls are aragonite). Over time it can slowly turn into calcite. It is soft and acid-sensitive, so keep it dry.
