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 specimen has especially distinct edges.

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 white with orange spots under 365nm UV light. It also has moderately strong phosphorescence of a yellowish-green color.

Looks good and functional.
Love having my kitchen drawers so organized. Wasn't sure about the mesh but it looks nice and can be easily lifted out to clean what fall thru.

Versatile
I use these as 'drawers' in my pantry. I can pull them forward to reach items in the back. They slide easily on the coated wire shelving. Stronger than plastic trays - sturdy enough to hold a bunch of cans.

Great decor and functional

Looks very nice. Keep by front door for keys and wallets. I added some rubber dots to bottom so it doesn’t slide. Now it’s perfect.
