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 as 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 in the marine ecosystem are mollusk shells, coral skeletons, and cave stalactites. It is also commonly 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, the shells of extinct ammonites (which are composed of aragonite) can naturally become iridescent. This unusual mineral creation is known as ammonite and is currently found only in the Rocky Mountains of North America.

One particularly interesting formation of this crystal is produced by mineral-rich hot springs. 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 cut and sold under 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 being calcite).

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

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 release past problems and present-day attachments. Aragonite promotes attentiveness 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 enhances and encourages sensitivity and generosity. Aragonite can help 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 aid in all types of healing. Aragonite can help speed 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.
