Aragonite is a calcium carbonate mineral that typically forms in radiating, needle-like or branching structures, while quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral that appears clear to translucent with geometric crystal growth.
They can occur together when quartz grows alongside or replaces earlier aragonite formations, creating combined structures with both linear and crystalline characteristics.
