Aragonite Healing Properties & Characteristics 

Aragonite appears in variations of orange and yellow colors and appears in clusters. When left on its own, it becomes Calcite. It stabilizes ancient fossils and helps preserve them, which links to Aragonite’s association with the earth and nature.

Despite both of these crystals being polymorphs of calcium carbonate, they have different crystal systems. Calcite is trigonal, while Aragonite is orthorhombic and more unstable than Calcite.

While its shape is more unstable, Aragonite is straightforward and will keep you on the right track and helps keep you more modest and truthful. 

Brief History On Aragonite

Aragonite was first discovered in the Aragon River in Spain, where it gets its name. There are both organic and inorganic versions of Aragonite. Organically, Aragonite forms in almost all mollusk shells due to the mineral deposition in these shells being strongly biologically controlled.

Some mollusks even have aragonite shells entirely. These crystals then have a different form from inorganic aragonite. Inorganic Aragonite forms in oceans and caves as inorganic precipitates.

It can be found around hot spring deposits and is formed when water releases calcium as it reaches the air, forming mounds and thick crusts around the edge of the spring. 

Since it was first found, Aragonite has become a popular gemstone due to its colors. You can find Aragonite all over the world, mainly in sedimentary environments. Despite this, you can also find it in oxidized zones of ore deposits alongside minerals such as Malachite and Smithsonite.

Occasionally, it may form as tufa in Czechoslovakia and Turkey. Despite some saying Tufa, Calcite, and Aragonite are the same, they are all separate minerals formed by Calcium Carbonate. Aragonite and Calcite are the most common minerals, with Aragonite being used to recreate reef conditions and as a gemstone.

They aren’t only found around hot springs but in stalactites in caves. Previously, we mentioned that Aragonite forms in the shells of Mollusks.

You can also find them near Santa Rosa, also in New Mexico. You may also find them if you look in the Passaic mine in Sterling Hill, New Jersey. Generally, Aragonite crystals are easy to find as they are often collected for home use.
