Dendritic Aragonite
Aragonite, a fascinating polymorph of calcite, shares the same chemical composition of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, but crystallizes in a distinct system. While calcite forms in the hexagonal system, aragonite takes shape in the orthorhombic system. The dendritic formations of aragonite are particularly captivating, showcasing intricate branching patterns that captivate both collectors and those seeking decorative accents.
This exquisite specimen originates from Sefrou in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, known for its rich mineral deposits. Mounted on a meticulously handcrafted dark brass base, this aragonite piece becomes a striking display of nature's artistry, adding an element of elegance to any space.
Embrace the allure of aragonite's unique crystalline structure and its inherent appeal to both collectors and interior decorators. Allow this exceptional specimen to inspire conversation and infuse your environment with its natural beauty and inherent wonder.
