Very little is known about the mythological significance of the penguin; due to its black and white color, it is considered by some to be a symbol of Yin Yang, a representative of the union of (apparent) opposites.

In dream interpretation, the bird, which lives in large groups, is considered to embody the theme of family.

The white Alabaster-Calcite from Mexico is also called white Aragonite or white Onyx in the trade.
