Aragonite, when banded, is an opaque brown stone with varying forms of tan and cream striping and patterned banding. It is an orthorhombic crystal, which means it has three mutually perpendicular axes of unequal length, and often appears flat or as a cluster of thin blades. In cluster form, it is known as "Spudnik" Aragonite and it can look peachy-brown and transparent.
Aragonite is a good Earth healer, and encourages conservation of Earth's precious resources.
Aragonite works with all of the chakras, but can work specifically with the Root/Base Chakra, for grounding and with the Earth-Star Chakra, for creating a deeper connection to planet Earth. 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 is also helpful to those who need to release issues from the past and 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.
