Aragonite

Aragonite can be found in a variety of colours ranging from burnt orange to white, but our favourite is the sunshine yellow, examples of which can be found below. Deposits of this stone can be found in various places but the initial discovery was in the Rio Aragon region of Spain where it was discovered in 1788, hence the name, and it is said to be associated with the Capricorn astrological sign; Aragonite is related to Calcite, for which it can sometimes be mistaken, and these minerals are present in shells and pearls.
