A rarity from Lake Constance: brown aragonite from the area of Bregenz (Austria)!
The polished aragonite balls have a diameter of 8mm; in total the chain strand is 40cm long.
The banded aragonite in shades of beige and brown is used in modern gemstone therapy for the themes of growth and relief. The mineral can support to always stay on the ball and to continue to persistently pursue the set goal, even in the case of strong stresses and unclear situations.
The mineral aragonite was described for the first time in 1796 by the German mineralogist Abraham Gottlob Werner and named by after the place where it was found in the province of Aragon in northeastern Spain; the spelling arragonite is therefore not correct.
