These are AA-grade Brown Aragonite hand polished stones from Junin, Peru, sold by the piece or by the pound. Aragonite is a calcium carbonate that often shows subtle tan-to-chocolate banding when polished. Each piece runs 1-1.50 inches at Mohs 3.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite focus stone for desks and pockets.
Brown Aragonite is a aragonite (carbonate). Aragonite has been known since ancient times but was only formally recognized as distinct from calcite in the 18th century.
This piece comes from Junín, Peru. This is a softer mineral (3.5 Mohs). Dry storage, gentle handling, and don't let it knock around with quartz or tourmaline.
In crystal traditions, brown aragonite is often associated with staying connected to your body and the moment, quiet, steady calm, and coming back to the task in front of you. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, hold one in your non-dominant hand for a few breaths when things feel shaky. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
