About this specimen

Yunnan blue aragonite at 4.3 cm; a miniature, supplied on the acrylic stand shown. Aragonite in turquoise blue forms a thick crust over the piece, the needle tips packed upright so the surface reads soft and matte with a paler rim along the break.

Aragonite is chemically the same as calcite but crystallises differently, which is why it builds sprays and columns instead of blocky rhombs.

Yunnan's copper and lead-zinc districts produce the azurite, malachite, pyromorphite, hemimorphite and blue aragonite that define Chinese secondary minerals.

Dimensions place it in the miniature range, 4.3 × 2.6 × 1.7 cm (1.69 × 1.02 × 0.67 in). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.

Specimens are photographed and catalogued one at a time before they reach this page.
