The aragonite necklace is an earthy and warm jewel for your neck. Its soft, natural honey, orange, and brown hues bring a warm and comforting touch that immediately brightens the complexion. Aragonite is a calcium carbonate, chemically identical to calcite but with a different crystal structure that gives it its own properties. Its name comes from the Aragon region in Spain where it was first described in the 18th century. It is also the mineral that makes up the mother-of-pearl in seashells and the skeleton of corals, a direct link between land and sea.
In lithotherapy, the aragonite necklace is renowned for its properties of deep grounding, patience, and emotional stability. Worn around the neck, it is close to the heart chakra and diffuses an earthy and comforting energy throughout the upper body. It is a stone that helps to slow down, reconnect with natural rhythms, and regain a sense of inner solidity. It is recommended for people who are overworked, scattered, disconnected from their bodies, or who live too much in their heads. Tradition also attributes to it properties of physical warming and relief from muscle tension. The aragonite necklace pairs well with red jasper (enhanced grounding), rose quartz (softness and appeasement), or rock crystal (amplification). For maintenance, be careful: aragonite is soft with a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. No salt, no shocks, no acids. Clean your necklace with a soft, slightly damp cloth and recharge it in gentle sunlight or on a quartz cluster. The earth is also an excellent way to recharge this telluric stone.
