History Did you know...Without Aragonite many of Earth’s organisms could not exist. This is a mineral most invertebrate organisms use to construct their shells and hard parts. So if you have ever admired a colorful seashell, you have already paid tribute to the range of colors Aragonite comes in and indirectly to the ease with which Aragonite forms at the Earth’s surface. Aragonite and calcite are ‘polymorphs’, minerals that have the same chemical composition but slightly different crystal structures. Both minerals can occur together and are so similar to one another that distinguishing between them is seldom important to anyone but a professional geologist. Calcite is more stable and common than Aragonite under the chemistry of our modern seas, but at times in the Earth’s past, Aragonite was the more stable and common form. The two minerals are nearly identical in their physical properties. Mineralogy Celestite is a strontium sulfate (SrSO4) mineral with a hardness of 3 to 3.5 . The blue color of Celestite has been attributed to the presence of minute amounts of gold. Color: Most often light sky blue to steel-blue, but also found colorless, gray, yellow with tints of red, green or brown. Luster: Vitreous (glassy); transparent to translucent. Crystal System: Orthorhombic; 2/m 2/m 2/m MineralogyAragonite is a carbonate mineral, one of the two common, naturally occurring, crystal forms of calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (the other form being the mineral calcite). It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments. Aragonite's crystal lattice differs from that of calcite, resulting in a different crystal shape, an orthorhombic system with acicular crystals. Repeated twinning results in pseudo-hexagonal forms. Aragonite may be columnar or fibrous, occasionally in branching stalactitic forms called flos-ferri ("flowers of iron") from their association with the ores at the Carinthian iron mines. MetaphysicalSpiritual EnergyAragonite calms, centers, stabilizes and increases the ability to remain patient, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It will enhance and encourage sensitivity and generosity. Aragonite can be an aid for those who lack discipline and self-control, and can help one to overcome stagnation in their personal growth. Aragonite is used in mediations to enhance insight and assist in communications with higher sources of information and intelligence. This is also considered a good way to conduct past life meditations. It sensitizes a person to their spiritual capabilities. It enhances inner vision and allows for smooth communications with the Spirit world. Aragonite is a wonderful Earth healer, and encourages conservation of Earth’s precious resources. Aragonite can also be used for clearing blockages of energy in ley lines and for healing geopathic stress. Aragonite acts as a stabilizing stone, and can be helpful for those who have focused solely on spiritual pursuits to the exclusion of other necessary tasks. Aragonite assists those who need to release issues from the past as well as attachments in the present. Aragonite promotes focus and concentration, and can be helpful for students. Meditating with Aragonite can help to ground spiritual growth into the lower chakras, raising the overall vibration of the body. Many crystal lovers enjoy Aragonite's centering energies, and work with it to help bring peace and serenity to volatile situations. Aragonite crystal properties calm energies which block out mental and spiritual irritants and disturbances bringing smooth meditation and spiritual healing, by filtering out chaos and distractions. Aragonite metaphysical properties held a reputation of being a powerhouse mineral; one that gets to the root of a situation. If you have an issue that you’re sweeping under the rug, it’s going to bring it up so fast that the rug just disappears. It brings up anger, fear, unresolved emotions and every other cobweb within your mind and body that you would prefer to deal with at a later time.On the positive side, the Aragonite meaning has this lure about it that seems to tell us IF you deal with your self-perceived dark side, there is a gift waiting for you at the end of the process.It invites you to come closer, to look deep within all the tubes of energy that all originate from one central point. The Aragonite meaning says this is the light. Each tube of energy beams light outwards, surrounding you like a web of light. You will be and feel better than before, but you must face your dark side to feel its light. Aragonite says, I am a cluster of light, and you too can also feel like a star shining bright in the sky. You can be a human star, BUT you must walk through the void, as the light awaits you. These stones have an excellent vibration for allowing you to feel more grounded, fully present and centered. They may aid you to be more patient and to be more content about your life circumstances. Using them is one of the useful methods to relieve stress,and when you are generally having difficulty coping emotionally with the circumstances of your life, these stones may be particularly helpful. Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy Use Aragonite when working with the Root and Earth Star Chakras, and for grounding and connecting to the Earth. Its hues can be very different like white, brown, blue, yellow, red, orange, pink, and green each of them ruling a different Chakra. Its physical healing properties comprise different hues effecting different Chakras,: whitesand blues for upper chakras (fifth, sixth, and seventh chakras), browns and reds for the first chakra, yellows and oranges for the second and third chakras, and greens and pinks for the heart chakra. Physical Healing EnergyPhysically, Aragonite's ability to raise vibrational energies of the body can assist with all types of healing. Aragonite can help to speed up the recovery from broken bones and nerve damage. Its highly grounding energies allow Aragonite to help relieve stress and nerve problems that may lead to restlessness, twitching or spasms. Sleep with Aragonite under the pillow to relieve insomnia, or carry in your pocket for continuous grounding influence throughout the day. Aragonite can also be used to enhance the absorption of calcium throughout the skeletal structure and to ameliorate pain and chills. Aragonite is invigorating stone that is excellent for bringing lively energy into your life. It increases joy, health, and vigor. Aragonite is a Dispeller Buildercrystal. Dispellers are crystals that form in the orthorhombic crystal system. They are very helpful talismans for mental and spiritual problems. All of us have problems. Some are physical, some spiritual. Certainly our lives would be more enjoyable and more productive if we could rid ourselves of them. Worry, anxiety, fear, and doubt can literally crippleus and make our lives miserable.

Woodworkers, stone workers, artists, painters, and others involved in the creative arts benefit from this type of crystals.

Alternative healers use Aragonite to heal bone and teeth problems, for solving digestive problems, alleviating chills caused by fever or hypothermia, or to restore the body to its healthiest condition. In the ancient Egypt it was believed that Aragonite prevents hair loss, bad skin and wrinkles. Feng Shui This Aragonite has fire energy. Like red and scarlet gemstones, it is to be used sparingly. Avoid using it in the East or Southeast areas of your home or room. Use it as an accent and as an accessory in rooms where high energy is needed. The south area of a room or home is the best place for this crystal. PaymentWe like items to be payed as soon as possible.
