From the Bahama Banks to the bulk bag.

Oolitic aragonite forms in the warm, shallow water of the Bahama Banks. These photographs show where it comes from, and the material itself: stockpiled in the open, held under cover and filled into bulk bags.

The ocean

Where the material forms

Oolitic aragonite is precipitated grain by grain in the warm, shallow water of The Bahamas, which gives each grain its rounded, layered form.

AragoCor’s material is sourced in The Bahamas through Aragosan Minerals Limited and supplied without a calcination step.
