Common Confusion: Caribbean Calcite, Blue Aragonite & Hemimorphite
Due to its color and banding, Caribbean calcite is sometimes mistaken for blue aragonite and hemimorphite. While these minerals may look similar at a glance, Caribbean calcite is a distinct type of calcite. Blue aragonite, on the other hand, is a separate mineral with a more vibrant blue and banding with brown and white commonly found, while hemimorphite often appears lighter and brighter.
Furthermore, calcite and aragonite are very similar, as they are both calcium carbonate minerals. Aragonite is a polymorph of calcite. Hemimorphite is a zinc silicate mineral. If you are ever confused between calcite and aragonite, look for banding and at the texture. Banding is more commonly present in aragonite. Aragonite will usually be less smooth with a grainier appearance. If you are ever confused between either calcite or blue aragonite and hemimorphite, look to the price and the form it takes. Hemimorphite is expensive and more commonly found in specimens. Some smaller pieces might be inexpensive, though, but they are still more likely to be in a raw specimen form. If you happen to find jewelry, the pieces have look similar to larimar with much less color variation and on the paler end of the spectrum. They will also have high per kg prices.
