Aragonite is a crystal of stability, strength, and support. It is believed to help its wearer feel grounded, centered, and balanced. Aragonite is also associated with the Earth Star chakra, which is located below the feet and helps to anchor us to the Earth and its grounding energy. This crystal is said to help us connect with our sense of place and purpose, and to find a sense of comfort and security in our surroundings.
Aragonite is also associated with the root chakra, which is located at the base of the spine and governs our sense of security and stability. It is said to help its wearer feel more connected to their roots, both physically and spiritually.
In addition, Aragonite is believed to have a calming energy that can help to soothe stress and anxiety. It is said to be particularly helpful for those who have trouble sleeping or struggle with anxiety, as it can help to promote a sense of peace and relaxation.
In more recent times, aragonite has been used in the construction of buildings, as a soil conditioner, and as a source of calcium for animal feed.
Aragonite is a carbonate mineral that is one of the main mineral (the other being calcite) of many organic substances and forms in both marine and terrestrial environments. It is the cause of the iridescent surface in pearls, mother of pearl, abalone and ammolite. It is a polymorph of calcite, they have the same chemical composition with a slightly different crystal structure. Often you find them growing together, as in septarian nodules – the yellow is calcite and the dark brown component is aragonite. It is often found in large clusters and has a variety of colors, including white, gray, brown, yellow, green, and blue.
Aragonite is a grounding stone that works well with other grounding stones such as Hematite or Black Tourmaline. It can also be paired with Clear Quartz to enhance its spiritual properties and promote clarity, or Amethyst to enhance its calming properties.
