DESCRIPTION: Is it just us or does this amazing sphere look like a smiling, laughing dolphin? Anyway... this listing is for an ultra rare, large and beautiful polished sphere of sky blue, Caribbean Calcite / Blue Aragonite. This spectacular specimen is completely as it was when it came out of the ground and is truly museum quality. The aragonite / calcite is layered, with botryoidal elements and numerous voids filled with microcrystalline aragonite.Blue aragonite differs from blue calcite, having the same chemical composition as calcite, (calcium carbonate) but a different crystal structure and is formed under totally different temperature and pressure conditions to calcite. We have been lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and have managed to secure a batch of this genuine blue and brown aragonite in rough natural form, a few cut and polished slabs and a very few towers & spheres. If you are looking for a spectacular addition to to your mineral collection or simply a rare and beautiful display piece, please consider owning a rare specimen of genuine blue and brown aragonite like this one.

A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON CALCITE vs ARAGONITE: You may think of carbon as an element that on Earth is found mainly in living things (that is, in organic matter) or in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Both of those geochemical reservoirs are important, of course, but the vast majority of carbon is locked up in carbonate minerals. These are led by calcium carbonate, which takes two mineral forms named calcite and aragonite.Aragonite and calcite have the same chemical formula, CaCO3, but their atoms are stacked in different configurations. That is, they are polymorphs. (Another example is the trio of kyanite, andalusite, and sillimanite.) Aragonite has an orthorhombic structure and calcite a trigonal structure. Our gallery of carbonate minerals covers the basics of both minerals from the rockhound's viewpoint: how to identify them, where they're found, some of their peculiarities.Calcite is more stable in general than aragonite, although as temperatures and pressures change one of the two minerals may convert to the other. At surface conditions, aragonite spontaneously turns into calcite over geologic time, but at higher pressures aragonite, the denser of the two, is the preferred structure. High temperatures work in calcite's favour. At surface pressure, aragonite can't endure temperatures above around 400°C for long. METAPHYSICAL AND HEALING PROPERTIES OF CALCITE / ARAGONITE: Calcite and aragonite work to clear and activate all of the chakras, improving the flow of energy throughout the subtle bodies. Meditation with Calcite can help to improve one's perception of the physical world and of the self, creating a shift in those who experience predominantly negative emotions. One can use Calcite to clear away negative energy, and to amplify positive energy, and specifically, to help remove fear-based emotions, bringing more optimism into one's experience.Calcite is helpful for those in need of clarity, and those who are learning about Law of Attraction and manifestation. Like Clear Quartz, Calcite can amplify intent, and can be programmed for a specific purpose. Calcite can help one to see past errors and ways to correct them for benefit in the future. By clearing away stagnant energy blockages, Calcite can bring higher energies into the chakras, encouraging spiritual development. ✔ The image shows the ACTUAL SPECIMEN you will receive unless otherwise stated.✔ We only sell the finest minerals, crystals & fossils.
