Blue Aragonites occur in numerous shapes, including stalactitic, and are turquoise colored. Most are found in China. Blue Aragonites enhance all levels of emotional perception and intensify one’s enjoyment of all emotional states. It relieves the fear which leads us to numb ourselves to the joys and sorrows of life, and brings a renewed zest and courage for experiencing all of one’s feelings. It is not only a powerful intensifier of positive emotional states but is also of assistance in healing past and present emotional wounds. It allows one to embrace fully everything that life brings, making it easier to see the beauty and perfection of both triumph and tragedy, love and loss, as well as all states in between. Just as it activates and improves the state of the emotional body, Blue Aragonite intensifies one’s natural empathic and psychic abilities. This is of special importance to those who are healers, psychic readers, medical intuitives or body workers. Its vibrations are harmonious with the reiki energies. This is an excellent stone to use in body layouts for self-healing or activation of higher states of awareness.
