Aragonite is a calcium carbonate mineral, formed in limestone caves and around hot springs. It has the same composition as Calcite, with a more compact structure. It is often recognised as a twinned pseudo-hexagonal prismatic crystal. Twinning results from interruptions during the growth of the crystal.

Aragonite is a powerful stone with strong energies for chakra activation and alignment. It restores balance and raises vibrations to a higher spiritual level. This means that Aragonite will push you to make changes in your daily life. Aragonite is a grounding stone, which calms and centres. Aragonite’s multiple effects help bring energy into the physical body, while providing inner balance, greater clarity and personal transformation. Use Aragonite also for connecting with nature.

Blue Aragonite is excellent for meditation practice and providing inspiration. Blue Aragonite stimulates the lungs, helping with any respiratory issues, including inflammation. This also makes it useful for breath work and deep breathing practices.
