Aragonite has very close chemical compositions as calcite,but its production amount in the nature is far fewer than calcite.
Aragonite is usually white dendritic crystallization with very fragile crystal structure,so it is hard to find intact aragonite specimen. The blue ones are even rarer in the nature because its color is caused by copper element. Its delicate size,exquisite appearance and unique shape make it a very special specimen.
