Aragonite, a type of calcium carbonate, forms in marine and freshwater environments despite being unstable at low pressures. Its crystallographic properties are due to weak Van der Waals forces. Used in reef replication, pH maintenance, and pollutant removal from wastewater, aragonite crystallizes in needle-shaped, fibrous, columnar, and stalactitic forms, often twinned and in various colours like white, yellow, green, and blue.
Aragonite is an earth-healing and grounding stone that promotes conservation and recycling. It transforms geopathic stress, clears blocked ley lines, and centres physical energies. Psychologically, it teaches patience, combats over-sensitivity, and encourages delegation. Mentally, it aids concentration and brings flexibility to the mind. Emotionally, it combats anger and stress while providing strength. Physically, Aragonite promotes comfort and combats nervous twitching. Spiritually, it stabilizes spiritual development, restores balance, and raises vibrations for meditation. It helps centre oneself, aids in stress, anger, and meditation preparation, provides insight into physical problems, and stimulates communication on higher planes. It enhances patience, helps maintain responsibilities, discipline, reliability, and practicality.
It is believed that aragonite warms extremities, aids energy flow, heals bones, boosts calcium absorption, enhances disc elasticity, relieves pain, prevents twitches, boosts immunity, and balances processes. It is purported to ground those feeling disconnected and stressed. Some have used aragonite elixirs to combat chills, warm extremities, relieve aches and pains, and improve skin conditions.
