Aragonite, Phantom Calcite from Mexico

Come and visit this amazing specimen...

I am affectionately known as

MAD MAX

and I am from Mexico.

I weigh over 4,500 pounds!!

My upper half is Aragonite

and the bottom is

Phantom Calcite Matrix.

Did you know Aragonite is a main component in pearls and corals?

The iridescent surface of pearls and mother-of-pearl is a layer of Aragonite secreted by mollusks and related invertebrates.
