SciShow | The Ocean's Most Important Crystal @SciShow | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
When we think of the ocean and what's in it, you probably think of stuff like fish, or salt, or seaweed. But there's a crystal that is so vital to marine life that they take dissolved materials in that salty water and build it themselves. This month's Rocks Box video, we're talking aragonite!
