Peru hosts several high-quality aragonite formations, particularly in sedimentary and hydrothermal geological environments. Our sourcing focuses on carefully selected deposits that allow controlled extraction while maintaining ecological balance and local community integration.

Peruvian Tiger Aragonite is characterized by:

• Bright orange and reddish layers
• Natural color consistency
• Structural integrity
• High purity levels
• Excellent workability

These qualities make Tiger Aragonite especially suitable for jewelry, decorative stone applications, artistic objects, and mineral-based functional products.

Each production batch undergoes systematic quality control and visual grading to guarantee stable material standards across all applications.

Only our most experienced master carvers take part in Gemrocks´ cabochon and jewelry production. Indeed, it takes many months of training to be able to produce a flawless premium-cut cabochon.

Additionally, our raw material quality standards are probably the world’s highest. As a result, only about 25 % of the rough rock coming from the mine is considered jewelry-grade.

Check our professional Tiger Aragonite Gemstone Quality Standard and avoid wasting money on low-grade material.

Ethical Tiger Aragonite Production & Processing Standards

Gemrock International operates under a strict ethical production philosophy based on:

• Zero-waste processing
• Water recycling systems
• Energy-efficient machinery
• Full material utilization

All Tiger Aragonite byproducts are re-integrated into secondary production cycles, including mineral blends, soil remineralization compounds, and construction material additives, ensuring maximum material efficiency and near-zero disposal output.

This approach transforms aragonite production into a closed-loop system that minimizes environmental footprint while maximizing resource value.

Gemrock Tiger Aragonite is processed for use in:

• Jewelry and cabochons
• Design Objects
• Interior and exterior decorative stone
• Functional Design objects
• Mineral blends
• Functional stone components

Our in-house processing enables precise shaping, polishing, and finishing according to international quality standards, serving jewelry designers, architects, wholesalers, and manufacturers worldwide.

Aragonite is a visually striking mineral that benefits from proper handling and maintenance to preserve its natural structure and surface finish.

Cleaning

• Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth
• Avoid chemical cleaners, acids, or abrasives
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaning

Handling

• Avoid impact, pressure, or bending forces
• Handle with care and avoid contact with harder materials.

Storage

• Store separately from harder minerals to prevent scratching
• Keep in padded containers or soft wrapping
• Maintain stable temperature and humidity conditions

Installation & Display

• Recommended for low-impact architectural and decorative use
• Suitable for interior installations, display objects, and artistic elements
• Not recommended for flooring, countertops, or heavy-use surfaces

Tigeri Aragonite is part of a broader family of carbonate materials.
