Aragonite is a Carbonate mineral that can occur in conjunction with
Calcium Carbonates. Aragonite differs from Calcite in the formation
of the Crystal shapes which can be in lattice, crystal, columnar or fibrous
in many different designs, shapes and sizes. Aragonite will form in
mollusk shells, oceans and salt water caves as inorganic precipitates called
marine cements and speleotherms. Ammolite is a form of Aragonite with
impurities that make it iridescent and valuable as a gemstone. |

Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where
all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining
the original structure of the wood. These minerals are most often Silicates
such as Quartz. Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water
or mud during the petrification process give Petrified Wood a variety of color
ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron.
Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its
detail all the way down to the microscopic level. Structures such as
tree rings and the various tissues are often observed features. Although
Petrified Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities
and at times can be difficult to obtain by the average collector.
