Composed of or containing aragonite, the crystalline form of calcium carbonate.
From aragonite with the adjective suffix '-ic,' indicating composition or properties related to the mineral aragonite.
Warm-water corals and tropical shells are aragonitic, while cold-water creatures often produce calcite—the same material, different crystal form! Temperature literally changes which version of calcium carbonate living things make.
