I believe you mean "lethal", it is a subtle distinction but quite important. As for the question, aragonite is not lethal if you simply have a specimen and handle it. As for most things, I wouldn't ingest it however.
Aragonite is a mineral.
The chemical formula of aragonite is CaCO3.
Aragonite is the neighbor to calcite. It is the crystalized form of CaCO3 (Calcium carbonate).
The mineral aragonite is composed of calcium carbonate.
Aragonite is a common carbonate mineral that is a polymorph of calcite. It is classified as a member of the aragonite group and belonging to the class of carbonates.

Aragonite is an orange or yellow-colored gemstone and is very popular. The crystals itself can be colorless or white if they are individually seen.

Yes. Aragonite is one of two mineral forms of calcium carbonate.
•Aragonite is a metastable calcium carbonate • •Calcium carbonate is stable • •Will recrystallize to calcite during diagenesis
Calcite and aragonite are both forms of calcium carbonate, but they have different crystal structures. Calcite has a trigonal crystal structure, while aragonite has an orthorhombic crystal structure. Aragonite is also slightly denser and usually forms in more unstable environments compared to calcite.
Aragonite is more likely to be found in younger fossils. This is because aragonite is a less stable form of calcium carbonate compared to calcite, which tends to recrystallize into calcite over time in older fossils.
