Aragonite is a calcium carbonate mineral, chemically similar to calcite, but with a different crystal structure. Pink Aragonite is a particularly rare and desirable variety, prized for its subtle, soft pink coloration. The chemical formula for Aragonite is CaCO₃. The presence of trace elements like manganese or iron in Pink Aragonite gives the stone its characteristic pale pink or rose hues. Pink Aragonite typically forms in columnar or stalactitic crystals, often exhibiting intricate patterns and textures that give it a soft, flowy appearance. It can also form in botryoidal or spherical clusters that resemble coral or small, round pearls.
The name “Aragonite” is derived from the Aragon region in northeastern Spain, where this mineral was first discovered. The region’s history of mining and mineral extraction dates back to ancient times, and it’s believed that the name “Aragonite” was adopted to honor this historical connection.
Like other varieties of Aragonite, Pink Aragonite forms in sedimentary environments, where calcium-rich solutions slowly crystallize over time. The mineral is typically found in hot springs, cave formations, and marine environments, where specific conditions of temperature, pressure, and mineral content are ideal for the crystallization of Aragonite. Due to its rarity, Pink Aragonite is mostly found in a handful of locations across the world including Pakistan, Spain, Italy and China.
Pink Aragonite is an enchanting gem of love, compassion and peace. It promotes deep healing of wounds, particularly those caused by emotional trauma, past relationships, or unresolved grief.
