These are A-grade Brown Aragonite raw stones from Junin, Peru, sold by the piece or by the pound. Aragonite is the orthorhombic form of calcium carbonate, chemically identical to calcite but with a different crystal structure. Each piece runs 1-2 inches at Mohs 3.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite grounding stone for desks.
Brown Aragonite is a aragonite (carbonate).
Our raw pieces are sourced from Junín, Peru.
At 3.5 on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Keep it away from water and store it separately from harder pieces.
Aragonite has been known since ancient times but was only formally recognized as distinct from calcite in the 18th century.
Brown aragonite has long been used in practices around 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, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. There's no single right way to carry it.
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.
