Aragonite Jewelry

Aragonite was once the traditional gift for young adults, as it is said to bring balance and empowerment to the turbulent emotions of youth and help channel their energies constructively.

Aragonite crystals are generally needle-like, however, sometimes form in six-sided prisms, considered of mystical symbolic importance (Star of David, Soloman's Seal, Six-petaled Flower of Aphrodite, etc.)

Yellow or Golden Aragonite is thought important to the 3rd Chakra, while White Aragonite is considered important to the 7th.
