Aragonite is a form of calcium carbonate, the same material as calcite but in a different structure. It is the same material that makes up seashells. The little brown-sugar colored clusters called “sputniks” are especially popular, maybe because they give off such a friendly vibe — sort of like a little mineral pet. Rarer forms of aragonite appear as clusters of colorless spikes or needles or blue coral-like masses. This abundant mineral is found all over the world. It’s great for grounding, and even for grounding other crystals.
Some forms of aragonite may contain lead or other dangerous elements, so do not use aragonite directly to make elixirs.
