About Peruvian Red Aragonite
Peruvian Red Aragonite is a beautiful red and white layered material that polishes absolutely incredibly.

Color
Red Aragonite is a layered material where dark orange/reddish to dark red layers interchange with white layers.
Jewelry-grade material:
For jewelry, we are selecting the dark red material (shades reach from Garnet red to Wine and Mahogany) which shows white lines with a good crispy definition.
Polishable
Red Aragonite polishes to a perfect glass-like finish.
You can buy our finished top-quality cabochons for jewelry makers.
National and international shipping from our US-based warehouse.
Impurities / Pores
Red Aragonite does not show impurities. For jewelry we choose the dark red part of the material which is free of pores, while in the slightly lighter reddish/orange material pores and holes may occur.
