Aragonite
About Aragonite
Aragonite is a carbonate mineral; one of the three most frequent variants of the crystalline forms of calcium carbonates (CaCO3) (the other two varieties being calcite and vaterite). It is formed in biological and physical processes. Biologically, calcite and aragonite form the skeletons and shells of most marine organisms.
Aragonite is also the mineral with which the shells form their pearls. Physically, aragonite deposits are formed in caves with low temperatures such as stalactites in caves. Another way to form deposits is the precipitation or sedimentation of aragonite in marine or aquatic environments. This always occurs in hot waters with a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
Another interesting fact about aragonite is, that it is phosphorescent. Being exposed to UV-light it shows the emission of white light. But when the UV light is switched off it shows a green afterglow, that slowly disappears.
