MINERALS INDEX
Aragonite |
| CaCO3 |
| Orthorhombic |
Aragonite forms needlelike crystals and white fibrous incrustations. It was found rarely as a secondary mineral in cross veins and other openings in the ore at Franklin. One specimen from the Buckwheat mine was seen in which distinct crystals of the slender, tapering type, familiar from Frizington, England, coat the surface of a seam in zincite ore. In others the mineral forms a coating of columnar fibrous texture.
