Aragonite is usually transparent or translucent, and colorless or white when pure. Impurities may cause shades of yellow, pink, blue, or green to occur. It is found in many different habits: small, elongated, prismatic crystals form in radiating groups, and concretions and stalactites are also common. It has poor cleavage.

Once Aragonite is cut, the layering is revealed in a polished section. It is common to find an Aragonite crystal growing out of a matrix.

Aragonite is an opaque stone that may be color-infused. The blue color of some crystals gets it from copper, a powerful energy conduit that heightens and grounds spiritual communication. Copper has long been sacred to the goddess of love, Venus. Aragonite purifies and aligns all the subtle bodies with the physical and balances yin-yang energies. That leads to optimum well-being.

Uniting the third eye, heart, and throat chakras, aragonite helps in expressing spiritual vision. Psychologically, it instills a sense of resolute optimism and assists in finding the source of problems you face, turning them into opportunities for evolution. Aragonite is handy for inner-child work and manifesting your soul’s plan for the present life.

Emotionally, it uplifts and calms the spirit and facilitates the expression of deep emotions. To attract more love into your life, especially if you yearn for your spiritual twin-flame, program aragonite to call this into your life.

Physically, aragonite assists with any form of breath- or voice- work. It strengthens the throat and lungs. The stone also assists in being comfortable within your physical body.

Environmentally, it is a powerful earth-healer and soul-healer. Gridded around a house, aragonite keeps the environment stable and harmonious and transmutes pollution and negativity of any kind.
