Mineral Information:
Aragonite is a mineral that is a form of calcium carbonate, the same chemical compound that makes up limestone and marble. It is typically found in sedimentary rock formations and in the shells of marine organisms such as corals and mollusks.
Aragonite has a crystalline structure, with individual crystals that can range in color from white to brown, yellow, blue, or green. It is often used as a decorative stone or for lapidary purposes, such as in the making of jewelry or ornamental objects.
In addition to its decorative uses, aragonite is also used in a variety of industrial applications, such as in the production of cement and other building materials, as well as in the treatment of wastewater and other environmental remediation processes.
Mineral Care:
Aragonite is a relatively fragile mineral, with a hardness rating of around 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. This means that it is relatively soft and can be easily scratched or damaged by other harder materials.
As a result, it is important to handle aragonite with care and avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage its surface. It is also recommended to avoid exposing aragonite to extreme temperatures or to dropping it on hard surfaces, as this could cause it to crack or break.
Metaphysical Properties:
Aragonite is used as a grounding stone that helps calm the mind, and is good for stress and anxiety. Aragonite is also said to aid in seeing the truth and helping with understanding. It is a stone of perception and is believed to help with creativity.
