Aragonite is a crystalline form of calcium carbonate that stands out for its wide variety of forms, the most prized being hexagonal prismatic crystals and the branched forms known as flos ferri (iron flower). Although it shares the same composition as calcite, aragonite belongs to the orthorhombic system, which gives it a higher density and a unique geometric beauty that is highly prized among advanced collectors.
