Pink Aragonite Lamp

An aragonite lamp made from pink aragonite from Mexico. A staging format that combines mineralogical material and functional lighting.

Aragonite is an orthorhombic calcium carbonate modification (CaCO₃), polymorphic to calcite. The pink color is caused by traces of manganese during crystallization. Mexican deposits in Sonora provide the most prized pink material worldwide.

Aragonite is semi-transparent. Built-in base lighting allows the material to shine through, creating a warm pink light effect. The crystalline structure refracts the light into countless micro-reflections.

Such aragonite lamps are collectible design pieces. Their processing as a lamp is a curatorial decision about the raw material and not a standard collector's format.

A Mexican collector's item with documented Sonora provenance, table format, and illuminated premium presentation.
