A Brief Introduction

Green Aragonite crystal close-up
Minty Calcium Carbonate
Green Aragonite is a minty to seafoam variety of aragonite, a calcium carbonate mineral related to calcite. It commonly appears as clusters, masses or tumbled stones with gentle, soothing colour. Because it is softer and more reactive than quartz, it is best treated as a palm stone, altar piece or gently worn jewellery. In crystal work it is chosen for nervous-system soothing themes, gentle grounding and soft emotional recalibration.

Origin & History

Where Green Aragonite comes from and how people have worked with it over time.

Aragonite is a polymorph of calcium carbonate that forms in marine, hydrothermal and sedimentary environments. Green varieties gain their colour from trace elements or inclusions, often appearing in layered or banded masses. Because aragonite is less stable than calcite under surface conditions, some specimens may slowly alter over long timeframes. For everyday use, however, basic care keeps stones enjoyable. Symbolically, Green Aragonite is linked with nervous-system soothing, emotional unwinding and bringing gentle order to inner and outer spaces. People may work with it when calming down after stress, organising environments or learning to move at a kinder pace.
