Aragonite lamp from Mexico

An Aragonite Lamp from Mexico. The translucent mineral column allows the base light to shine through, creating a warm, light-refracting effect within the material.

Aragonite is an orthorhombic calcium carbonate modification (CaCO₃), polymorphic to calcite. The Mexican deposits in Sonora provide high-quality material with pronounced banding geometry and warm color spectra.

The crystalline structure refracts light into countless micro-reflections. Such aragonite lamps are collectible design pieces that combine mineralogical material and functional lighting.

The gallery dimension of this piece makes it a solitaire for reception or gallery areas. The banding is striking and gains additional depth in translucent light.

A Mexican collector's item with documented Sonora provenance and illuminable premium staging.
