An aragonite cluster specimen refers to a natural mineral formation composed primarily of aragonite crystals. Aragonite is a calcium carbonate mineral that is less common than its polymorph, calcite. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and often forms delicate, needle-like or prismatic crystals.
The colour of aragonite crystals can vary, but they are commonly white, colourless, yellow, brown, or even blue, depending on impurities present in the crystal lattice. Aragonite clusters can be found in various geological settings, including caves, sedimentary rocks, and hydrothermal veins.
