These unusual pseudomorphs of dolomite after aragonite have earned the name “snowflake” because of their hexagonal shape which is often striated to give the mineral an appearance like a chunky snowflake. ‘Pseudomorph’ means the mineral initially grew as aragonite, and then through geological processes the aragonite was replaced with dolomite. The new mineral will retain the shape of the original growth. 

With dolomite snowflakes, the aragonite crystal habit is referred to as ‘pseudo-hexagonal’ meaning the crystals that appear hexagonal are actually formed of multiple intergrown crystals (twinned growth). The pseudo-hexagonal crystals grow similar to the arms of its namesake snowflake, forming six symmetric small pointed pie-wedges (you may be able to tell, the boundary between crystals is about halfway between points).

This pseudo-hexagonal crystal habit is common in aragonite! Purple aragonite and sputnik aragonite also have a pseudo-hexagonal habit and get their hexagonal crystal shape from cyclic twinned growth—studied closely you can see similarities with the crystal growth of dolomite snowflakes.

UV reactivity This material reacts well, fluorescing strong orange  under 365nm UV light. It also has moderately strong phosphorescence of a yellowish-green color. This specimen also has an irregular cluster of attempted-twinned-growth on one side, which fluoresces whitish.

Subtle but gorgeous
Color: Golden
I’d buy it just for the perfume bottle - just adorable. The glitter is light and gives a delightful shimmer on skin and hair. Not saying exactly how old I am but I remember the 80s…if you older and just want some sparkle THIS IS IT. It’s light cover and sheen is just enough to add some glam without looking like you’ve just come off the pole… If you are heading in that direction just use an extra couple of puffs of glitter and you go girl… Will likely buy more colors, so fun!
