- A mineral form of crystalline calcium carbonate; dimorphic with calcite
- Aragonite is a carbonate mineral, one of the two common, naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (the other form is the mineral calcite.) It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments.
- A saline evaporite consisting of anhydrous calcium carbonate with the chemical formula CaCO3; it is dimorphous with calcite
- A translucent white mineral found in calcium carbonate.
- A calcium carbonate (limestone) mineral, used by shell- or skeleton-forming, calcifying organisms such as corals (warm- and coldwater corals), some macroalgae, pteropods (marine snails) and non-pteropod molluscs such as bivalves (e.g., clams, oysters), cephalopods (e.g., squids, octopuses). ...
- A calcium-containing mineral usually found in the form of rock, gravel, or sand.
- A form of calcium carbonate, this term refers to a substrate used in the aquarium to raise or maintain high pH and alkalinity levels. ...
- A carbonate mineral that forms naturally in almost all mollusk shells, as well as the calcareous endoskeleton of warm- and cold-water corals
- An orthorhombic mineral consisting of CaCO3 in which each Ca^2+ ion is bonded to nine oxygens. The resulting large cation site allows Sr^2+, Ba^2+, and Pb^2+ to substitute for Ca^2+ in measurable quantities. A common mineral in speleothems. Cf. calcite.
