Aragonite sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An aragonite sea contains aragonite and high-magnesium calcite as the primary inorganic carbonate precipitates. Therefore, the chemical conditions of the seawater must be notably high in magnesium c...

Aragonite Group The principal member of the Aragonite Group, aragonite is the second most common polymorph of natural calcium carbonate (the most common is calcite). It is significantly less widespread and abundant than calcite and is formed under a much narrower range of physio-chemical conditions. ... Occurrences of Aragonite...

Information on the mineral aragonite ... Almost all Aragonite crystals are twinned growths of three individual crystals that form pseudohexagonal trillings . Therefore, although Aragonite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, virtually all its crystals are hexagonal shaped.
