This crystal is for those who need balance the most, for everyone seeking stability. Whether this is from an emotional standpoint, or due to changes in relationships, work, sports, or physical circumstances.

Dimensions: variable

Origin: Pakistan

Description

Aragonite is one of the three calcium carbonate minerals found naturally in Mother Nature (the other two are calcite and vaterite).

It is commonly found crystallized in the form of small prismatic crystals, masses, stalactites, and radiating spherical aggregates.

This mineral was first discovered in 1790 by Abraham Gottlob Werner in Molina de Aragón, Guadalajara, Castile-La Mancha, Spain.

Several marine animals are made of aragonite! Some everyday examples of this mineral found in the marine biosphere are mollusk shells, coral skeletons, and cave stalactites. This is what is normally found in pearls and coral, which is a marine polyp that secretes calcareous skeletons.

Both the living organism and the skeleton are called coral, and the skeleton is used as an ornamental stone. On rare occasions, extinct ammonite shells (which are composed of aragonite) can naturally become iridescent. This unusual mineral creation is known as ammonite, and it is currently found only in the Rocky Mountains of North America.

One particularly interesting formation of this crystal is that produced by the deposition of mineral-rich hot springs. The water releases calcium as it emerges from the spring, forming growing mounds and thick crusts around the springs. When these are banded, they can be carved and given trade names such as "Onyx Marble" and "California Onyx".

This mineral is a major member of the aragonite group and is the second most common polymorph of natural calcium carbonate (the most common is calcite).

Since then, it has been found worldwide, especially in countries such as Mexico, Pakistan, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Aragonite is suitable for people who are always in a hurry, teaching them to have patience.

This stone teaches patience and acceptance and is ideal for overly demanding people. It combats stress and anger.

Metaphysical and Spiritual Properties

Aragonite works with all the chakras, but it can work specifically with the Root Chakra. Aragonite acts as a stabilizing stone and can be useful for those who have focused exclusively on spiritual activities while neglecting other necessary tasks.

Aragonite is also useful for those who need to let go of past problems and present attachments. Aragonite promotes focus and concentration and can be useful for students. Meditating with this stone can aid spiritual growth in the lower chakras, increasing the body's overall vibration. Many crystal lovers appreciate its intense energies and work with them to help bring peace and serenity to unstable situations.

This mineral calms, centers, stabilizes, and increases the ability to remain patient, even in the most difficult circumstances. It will increase and encourage sensitivity and generosity. Aragonite can be a help for those who lack discipline and self-control, and it can help overcome stagnation in personal growth.

Physical and Mental Properties

Physically, Aragonite's ability to increase the body's vibrational energies can help with all types of healing. Aragonite can help speed up recovery from broken bones and nerve damage. Its highly grounded energies allow Aragonite to help relieve stress and nervous problems that can lead to restlessness and tension.

Sleep with Aragonite under your pillow to relieve insomnia, or carry it in your pocket for continuous grounding throughout the day. Aragonite can also be used to improve calcium absorption throughout the skeletal structure and to relieve pain and chills.

Who the crystal is for

This crystal is for those who need balance the most, for everyone seeking stability. Whether this is from an emotional standpoint, or due to changes in relationships, work, sports, or physical circumstances.

We may often find ourselves "unbalanced" or "off-center" due to the misalignment of our chakras. Well, this is the stone that tends to put us back in place.

Raw Apatite

Apatite is known as the stone of manifestation because it helps you see things more clearly.

It helps you recognize problems, identify the obstacles you need to overcome, or the issues that are holding you back.

This allows you to move forward and achieve your goals.

Size: variable

Material: Apatite

Stone of origin: Brazil

Apatite (from the Greek apatao, to deceive) is a stone with a hexagonal crystal system and is formed through primary and secondary lithogenetic processes.

The most common form found in nature is blue, but it can also be found in yellow, green, and gray. Transparent apatite is very rare, as it is usually opaque. It was used to replace, and at other times due to unintentional confusion, beryl. However, it was identified several years ago, dating back to 1786.

However, in crystal therapy, it has only recently been rediscovered.

Apatite is linked to the third chakra due to its crystal structure. It is suitable for all those people who never forget their goal and strive to achieve it, intelligently overcoming every difficulty.

Properties of apatite

Apatite is a stone with many properties. If you choose to work with this mineral, you can use it in crystal therapy sessions. Depending on its color, place it on the corresponding chakra. Blue apatite goes on the fifth chakra, green on the fourth, yellow on the third, and gray on the first chakra.

Benefits for the body

According to some studies conducted by more or less famous crystal therapists, apatite works on the physical plane by stimulating cell regeneration. It works extensively on the bones, teeth, and cartilage. It is also useful in cases of joint pain. However, those who have followed me for a while know well that I prefer to work on the spiritual and mental plane rather than the physical when it comes to stones and crystals.

Benefits for the spirit

From a spiritual point of view, apatite promotes openness toward others. If you are someone who finds it difficult to socialize, wear a blue apatite in contact with the throat chakra; it stimulates extroversion. It does so gently, based on your inclinations that have not yet emerged.

Benefits for the mind

In times of uncertainty, when the temptation is to remain still and endure events rather than live them, apatite is just what you need. It gives us vitality and helps in cases of depression caused by a period of hyperactivity that has left you exhausted. It can also be useful for staying calm in situations that make you lose your patience.

Angelite - rough

Angelite promotes kindness, compassion, and comfort. It helps you experience that guardian angels or those who help us are always close to us.

It restores clarity and strength when you feel insecure or vulnerable.

Physically, angelite has a calming and positive effect on inflammation, fluid balance, edema, the thyroid gland, the throat/neck area, lungs, and kidneys.

Dimensions: variable

Material: Angelite, semi-precious stone

Angelite is a mineral with soft blue tones. It is a stone that is not widely used in crystal therapy, but it has benefits that I truly believe are worth knowing.

Angelite is actually the name given to anhydrite when it is blue. It is a mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate.

This is where its name comes from. In nature, anhydrite takes on a particular cluster shape. Its color ranges from white to blue, passing through gray.

Among angelite's benefits, those related to the spiritual sphere are particularly noteworthy. This is because it teaches you to get along with others and to better understand their needs and requirements.

Angelite's properties and meaning

Angelite is connected to the higher chakras, as it works primarily on the spiritual and mental/emotional levels. It is not a stone that boasts many properties, but it is truly worth using because it has a beautiful and highly relaxing energy. I don't know about you, but I really need stones that help me manage the anxiety that arises on certain days.

Benefits for the body

Angelite is not known for its effects on the body. However, its energy balances, so it can be used to restore well-being and reduce certain psychosomatic pain. It also seems to have beneficial effects on the bones.

Benefits for the mind

Angelite works on the throat chakra and improves communication skills. It helps you express your ideas clearly and calmly.

It clears the mind when anxiety prevents you from seeing the best solution to a problem. It helps you put things into perspective and tackle them from the right angle, while also fostering greater acceptance of change. You can use it when doing creative work because it opens the mind to intuition.

Benefits for emotions

Its balancing action is also felt in your emotions, bringing serenity and allowing you to build genuine relationships with others. It soothes anger and aggressive feelings. It provides support during separations.

Benefits for the spirit

You can use angelite to balance the fifth chakra, the throat chakra. If you wear an angelite necklace instead, you will gain a protective shield.

In general, however, it brings balance at an energetic level, improves psychic awareness, and can work on the third eye to promote intuition and telepathic communication.

You can use angelite to connect with angels and your spirit guide.

Connection with the fifth chakra

As I mentioned, angelite works primarily on the throat chakra. Therefore, you can wear a necklace with this stone to promote the energetic balance of Visuddha. It governs the entire communication process, so you can work with it if you want to overcome the fear of speaking in public or expressing your ideas.

Raw Amazonite

Amazonite protects against negative energies and electromagnetic radiation.

It helps to have a more stable mind and greater intuitive wisdom.

Dimensions: variable

Country of origin of the stone: Brazil

Amazonite is a microcline, that is, an alkaline feldspar, recognizable by its perfect cleavage. It can be of magmatic origin (hydrothermal formation process or in pegmatites), secondary (sedimentary), or metamorphic (crystalline schists).

The blue-green color, which takes on a pearlescent luster under magnification, is due to the presence of lead and resembles river water.

Therefore, it owes its name to the Amazon River, where it was believed to originate: in reality, no deposits are known in the Amazon basin, while it is certainly extracted in some areas of the Ural Mountains in Russia and in Colorado in the United States. It often shows reddish-brown iron infiltrations.
