Description

- Origin: Mexico
- What is it: This is a naturally occuring glow in the dark gemstone. Aragonite is a carbonate mineral, one of the three most common naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate. It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments.
- History: Aragonite was named in 1790 after the Spanish province of Aragon. Certain mollusks' shell, such as abalone, are actually made of aragonite, which gives a luster known as mother-of-pearl. Many fossil shells now composed of calcite were originally formed of aragonite. These fossils have lost their original pearly luster.
- Metaphysical Properties: Aragonite is believed to be a grounding stone. Considered to have the power to combat anger, accelerate learning process, promote patience, discipline, reliability, and encourage acceptance.
- Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from bead to bead
