Frequently asked questions about oolitic aragonite
What is oolitic aragonite?
Oolitic aragonite is a natural calcium carbonate — the orthorhombic polymorph of CaCO₃ — that forms as rounded ooid grains in shallow Bahamian marine waters. AragoCor material analyses at 96.17% calcium carbonate, with elemental calcium of 38.51% and a specific gravity of 2.93.
Where can I buy bulk oolitic aragonite for industrial use?
AragoCor Minerals supplies bulk natural oolitic aragonite directly, in the AG-CAL, GL-CAL, WT-CAL and PL-CAL grades plus blends to specification. Grade, particle sizing, packaging and volume are confirmed by quotation — request bulk pricing to start one.
What is the difference between aragonite and limestone?
Both share the formula CaCO₃, but they are different mineral polymorphs. Limestone is primarily calcite; AragoCor supplies the orthorhombic aragonite polymorph of marine origin. Crystal form and morphology differ, so supplied grades still need to be compared under the conditions of the intended application.
The aragonite versus limestone technical brief sets the two side by side.
Is AragoCor oolitic aragonite approved for organic farming?
AragoCor natural oolitic aragonite carries OMRI crop fertilizer listing avw-23214 and livestock feed-material listing avw-23215. OMRI Listing is a review of a material’s suitability for use in certified organic production, published by the Organic Materials Review Institute; it is a listing rather than a product certification.
What particle sizes are available for oolitic aragonite supply?
Supplied sizing spans 20–325 U.S. mesh across grades: AG-CAL at 0.2–0.5 mm, GL-CAL below 0.1 mm and WT-CAL at 1–3 mm. Custom distributions and blends to specification are available.
How is oolitic aragonite sourced and processed without calcination?
Material is sourced from naturally forming Bahamian oolitic deposits, then washed, screened, dried and classified into defined particle-size ranges. AragoCor processing uses no quarry blasting and no calcination step, so the mineral is not kiln-converted to lime.
Which grades does AragoCor supply?
Four grades: AG-CAL for agriculture, GL-CAL for glass batch, WT-CAL for water treatment and PL-CAL as a particle-size-controlled filler for polymers and coatings — plus blends to specification. Each is detailed on the products page.
Where is AragoCor oolitic aragonite sourced?
The material is sourced in The Bahamas through Aragosan Minerals Limited, from naturally forming oolitic deposits. Source documentation is available on request.
What are the technical specifications and purity of AragoCor aragonite?
Representative analysis gives 96.17% CaCO₃ and 38.51% elemental calcium, with specific gravity 2.93, surface area > 1.7 m²/g, and 20–325 U.S. mesh sizing. The full technical data sheet is published on the site and available as a download.
