Covid-20

We recently received more inventory. On item is a batch of Aragonite. Some are spherical and look amazingly like the Corona Virus.

Aragonite is a calcium carbonate material....but don't try to eat it.
They don't usually form in balls but rather elongated hexagonal crystals.

These particular ones have red iron oxide in them, but they have been found white and looking a lot like coral. These however have very defined crystal structures in them. I have previously collected the irregular clusters as well as the coral looking ones. When these arrived, we just had to get them in our inventory.
