Aragonite crystal clusters often occur as radiating or 'stellate' groups, particularly those which are found in Morocco. Aragonite stabilises development on both a physical and spiritual level. Although the vibration is high, the effect is calming, especially in cases of oversensitivity. As such, it can be used to treat headaches by holding it to the Third Eye Chakra. On a healing level, it aids in the absorption of calcium and assists healing in bones. It teaches us flexibility and tolerance, something the world could definitely do with more of in the present climate.
