Aragonite, a key to sustainable future

Aragonite represents a paradigm shift in the procurement and application of calcium carbonate. Unlike traditional forms of calcium carbonate, such as mined limestone, oolitic aragonite is a biogenically renewable, climate positive material that is functionally superior in a diverse range of industries. Its formation through natural oceanic precipitation and microbial activity actively sequesters atmospheric carbon, providing a significant environmental advantage over the energy intensive and geographically disruptive process of quarrying.

The mineral’s core competitive advantages stem directly from its unique physical and chemical properties. Its orthorhombic crystal structure, high purity, and exponentially greater surface area yield enhanced performance in industrial applications. A key differentiator is its superior solubility which provides immediate and measurable benefits in agriculture and water treatment. Furthermore, its unique zeta potential and spherical grain morphology contribute to improved product durability in manufacturing and better flowability in processing. Oolitic aragonite’s value proposition extends beyond mere material substitution; it offers a strategic pathway for industries to improve product performance while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint, aligning with global trends toward sustainability and circular economies.

Our Vision Sustainable Growth Through Natural Innovation

Aragosan was founded to lead the way in providing natural mineral solutions that advance global sustainability goals. Our long term vision is to expand the reach and application of  aragonite, a transformative resource that helps industries transition toward more sustainable practices. As global concerns like climate change, soil degradation, and water quality grow, our commitment is to provide a renewable, non-toxic material that meets this critical demand.

Harvesting of the Aragonite

Aragosan has long term exclusive arrangement with key suppliers who harvest the aragonite in its purest form rather than traditional mining as the commercial extraction of Aragonite is fundamentally different from traditional mining. It is the harvesting process which doesn’t require any form of environmentally disruptive practices of quarrying. The harvesting process involves environmentally responsible mining practice, which removes accumulated sediment from the banks. This harvesting approach, in conjunction with the mineral’s continuous replenishment, makes it a truly sustainable and renewable resource.

Our Product Suite

The Bahamas is home to one of the world’s most unique and abundant natural resources, Aragonite and among all the most niche product is Oolitic Aragonite. Unlike conventional quartz sands, Bahamian aragonite is a naturally occurring, high-purity form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3​). Its exceptional quality stems from a unique geological process, the chemical precipitation of calcium carbonate from seawater, which forms small, spherical grains (ooids) with a crystalline structure and an unparalleled purity.

Our company is partnering with key suppliers at the forefront who are responsibly harvesting and processing this remarkable resource. We don’t just extract aragonite, we transform the unique properties of Bahamian aragonite into a comprehensive product suite designed to meet the precise needs of modern industry. From high purity raw materials for industrial applications to specialized powders for advanced manufacturing and aesthetic aggregates for civil engineering to further enhancement of football field and beach nourishment, our offerings leverage aragonite’s distinct characteristic in form of spherical grain shape, high surface area, and chemical reactivity.

Applications

Agriculture

Aragonite provides a multi-dimensional solution for improving fertilizer efficiency, crop nutrient availability, and soil health. Its ability to absorb, retain, and slowly deliver a wide spectrum of nutrients enables both immediate and long-term agronomic and environmental benefits. This enhances both economic returns for farmers and contributes to sustainable agriculture practices.

Beach Nourishment

Aragonite offers a renewable, environmentally responsible, and technically viable alternative for beach nourishment. Its unique physical and ecological properties make it well-suited to safeguarding shorelines, supporting coastal wildlife, and contributing to climate objectives. Growing environmental pressures and regulatory trends are likely to accelerate its adoption in coastal management projects worldwide.

Construction

Aragonite is gaining traction as an innovative additive or partial replacement in concrete mix designs. Its unique properties offer several advantages over traditional materials like ground limestone or calcite-based aggregates as it can deliver both performance and environmental benefits, making it an attractive option for sustainable and high-performance construction projects.

Sports Field

Aragonite is a popular choice for artificial turf infill due to its spherical grain shape, which is a major advantage over traditional sharp, angular sands and that’s the reason, its being used widely as a type of infill for football fields. Its unique properties are specifically beneficial for player safety and field performance having reduced Friction and Abrasions, Superior Shock Absorption and Improved Heat Management.

From Ocean Floor to Global Core

Supply Chain Management of Oolitic aragonite

The supply chain for Aragonite from the Bahamas is a specialized process that leverages the unique natural formation of this mineral. It’s a vertically integrated system that moves the material from the seafloor to global markets by a team of supply chain professionals from harvesting to bulk shipping managing the entire supply chain for delivering the quality of Oolitic aragonite to all over the World .
