Aragonite is a calcium carbonate mineral that 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 form together in mineral-rich environments, where quartz develops alongside or over aragonite, combining linear growth with crystalline structure.
