Aragonite Raw Star Cluster

The Aragonite raw star clusters measure approximately 1 inch and are light red/brownish in color.  These clusters are perfect to display as a specimen piece or as wire wrapped jewelry. 

Aragonite has the same chemical composition as Calcite, but it crystalizes in a different way. It was named after the Spanish province and River of Aragon in the 18th century. It comes in a variety of forms known as star clusters or Sputnick cluster.  It is sometimes referred to as Cave Calcite. The crystals come in red, white, blue and brown and can be found in Spain, Pakistan, Madagascar, Canada and Peru.
