This extraordinary large specimen of blue aragonite from Afghanistan weighs an impressive 1618 grams and is among the rarest and most spectacular mineral finds we at Crystal Paradise have ever hand-selected. Blue aragonite is a natural calcium carbonate variety that owes its characteristic sky-blue to turquoise coloring to embedded trace elements – a natural wonder of breathtaking beauty and mineralogical significance.

Mineralogical Properties and Origin

Aragonite belongs to the carbonate group and is a polymorph of calcite – both consist of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), but differ in their crystal structure. Afghanistan is worldwide one of the most well-known source regions for high-quality blue aragonite, whose extraordinary shades of blue never cease to amaze even experienced collectors. At Crystal Paradise, our focus is on exactly such hand-selected unique pieces, which we personally choose for our range and also present in person in our showroom in Feldkirchen near Munich.

Caring for This Extraordinary Aragonite Large Specimen

Aragonite has a comparatively low hardness and is sensitive to acids as well as mechanical impact. For optimal care, we recommend the following tips:

• Remove dust only with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
• Do not use chemical cleaning agents or acidic substances
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause the color to fade
• Aragonite can be energetically cleansed gently with singing bowls or briefly in moonlight
