Aragonite (Inventory)/Aragonite Bush

From LagWiki

The Aragonite bush field of the Aragonite section should record any observation of the bush form of aragonite.

Aragonite bushes are dense clusters of aragonite in the form of bushes or Christmas trees. They often exhibit frostwork, fine, white, needle-like growths of crystals that individually look very much like ice crystals. Aragonite bushes can vary in size from small to large. Frostwork not in the form of a bush should be recorded in the frostwork field.
