Aragonite is a very common mineral, similar to calcite. It actually possesses the same chemical formula as calcite but has a different crystal structure (orthorhombic). This calcium carbonate mineral is almost exclusively found in areas of the Earth's surface with low temperatures. An example is its formation of cave stalactites. It serves a very important role in the shells of many marine animals.
Aragonite can be used to boost self-confidence and realization of self-worth as you begin to place more trust in yourself. It is used to reduce emotional fatigue and anger.
