Aragonite, a dimorphous form of calcium carbonate, which crystallises in the orthorhombic system, is very often twinned in its growth. It occurs as a deposit from hot springs and in association with beds of gypsum. The shells of certain molluscs are made of aragonite and many fossil shells now composed of calcite were probably formed…

Such crystals of gypsum are called selenite, for the crystals tend to show moon-like iridescence from the cleavage surfaces. It is usually formed by the evaporation of an enclosed sea basin, or may be…
