Aragonite is a wonderful Earth healer, and encourages conservation of Earth’s precious resources. Use Aragonite when working with the Root and Earth Star Chakras, and for grounding and connecting to the Earth. 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 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.
Physically, 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.

| I have experienced spontaneous kundalini awakening with intense and disturbing symptoms such as intense anxiety and hypersensitivity to external stimuli years ago, and I am looking for remedies, such as a crystal, that can slow things down and allow my spiritual body to grow in its own peaceful pace. Do any of you know and advise me of whether aragonite star cluster can be helpful in such case? For some reason I feel drawn to this crystal. Thank you in advance for your responses (Submitted by: Aleaf on September 27, 2016) |

 As I understand it, aragonite is a "dry" carbonate, which basically is mother-of-pearl, among other examples shown. A dry carbonate will help either slow down an unnatural reaction that is occurring too quickly or speed up one that is occurring too slowly. Even though it has the same chemical formula as calcite, these do not belong to the same crystalline family. Aragonite is an orthorhombic carbonate while calcite is a trigonal carbonate. Calcite speeds up processes that are too slow and then stabilizes them; but aragonite does the opposite. In other words it is calcite not aragonite that raises vibrational energies in the body. Aragonite slows down things growing too fast or moving through the body too quickly for metabolic actions to be achieved properly. I would use aragonite against tumour growth, for example. You say "Physically, 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." Aragonite will not speed up recovery from broken bones or nerve damage but will relieve stress and nerve problems that may lead to restlessness, twitching or spasms. Use calcite to speed up too slow healing of broken bones, but still understand that healing of broken bones will take a certain average time, and so only use the calcite to speed it up if that time is longer than the average. , (Submitted by: welwyn on January 26, 2016) |
