Acicular (crystal habit)
Acicular, in mineralogy, refers to a crystal habit composed of slender, needle-like crystals.

Aragonite
Aragonite is a carbonate mineral and one of the three most common naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate, the others being calcite and vaterite. Cerussite and Aragonite are Aragonite group, carbonate minerals, Luminescent minerals, minerals in space group 62 and orthorhombic minerals.
The term blowpipe refers to one of several tools used to direct streams of gases into any of several working media.

Crystal
A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.
Crystal twinning
Crystal twinning occurs when two or more adjacent crystals of the same mineral are oriented so that they share some of the same crystal lattice points in a symmetrical manner.
