Description: Peruvian Coati Aragonite is a banded material showing a beautiful variety of brown/reddish, yellowish, and white layers. It can also be polished to a glass-like surface. We named it Coati Aragonite because it reminds us of the banded tail of the South American Coatí, a species threatened by extinction. We thought it was a great opportunity to call attention to the plight of this and other species and remind people that protecting our biodiversity is important. Peruvian Coati Aragonite shows very strong fluorescence and phosphorescence. When put under UV light, some of its bands emit a very bright white light. When the light is switched off, they show a very strong and long-lasting green afterglow. An amazing material that looks great under natural and UV light, as well as in deco-pieces and jewelry.
