text: Aragonite is metastable at the low pressures near the Earth's surface and is thus commonly replaced by calcite in fossils.
text: Although aragonite is the metastable phase under ambient conditions, it is well-known that many organisms overwork biological macromolecules to control aragonite nucleation, that is
text: In fact, aragonite is considered to be a metastable mineral that can ever so slowly degrade to calcite all by itself over time at normal temperatures and pressures, without the help of water, with this change occurring even faster at high temperatures.
text: At surface conditions, aragonite is actually metastable, and heating it to 400°C will make it revert to calcite.
text: Calcium carbonate can take the form of two different minerals: Calcite is the stable form, whereas aragonite is metastable: Over time, or when heated, it can ultimately transform into calcite.
text: Because aragonite is metastable with respect to calcite, it has a higher solubility, which has significant implications in biogeochemistry.
text: Aragonite is known to have very high mechanical strength and is metastable under ambient conditions.
text: Aragonite is metastable and is thus commonly replaced by calcite in fossils.
