Found first in Molina de Aragon, Spain - it was named after the region of Aragon and is known as a grounding stone. This fascinating crystal has a mysterious shape, has been nicknamed the Sputnik and comes in a variety of coppery and orange colours. Aligned with the Root Chakra and Sacral Chakra, this captivating crystal finds resonance with the stabilising energies of Earth. Aragonite Sputnik forms through the precipitation of aragonite from mineral-rich solutions, creating distinctive spherical or radial crystal formations resembling the shape of the Sputnik satellite.

The Spiritual Vibes

The affirmation “I am grounded, anchored to the Earth’s energies, and open to higher spiritual insights” encapsulates the essence of Aragonite Sputnik. It not only provides stability and grounding but also opens pathways for higher spiritual awareness.

Aragonite is a powerful ‘rooting’ crystal that can help you to centre and ground yourself as well as find your inner silence. If you are struggling to keep still and concentrate after a busy day at work, your Aragonite crystal will be there to help you to restore peace within all the chaos. Aragonite Sputnik is a stone that is also extensively used in Kundalini Yoga, as it can raise your Kundalini and aid with meditation and expand your consciousness. 

Aragonite Sputnik's Favourite Pairing Crystals

To enhance its grounding effects, pair Aragonite Sputnik with Hematite or Smokey Quartz. Placing this unique crystal in your living space or carrying it with you invites a sense of stability and connection to both the Earth’s energies and spiritual realms. However, it’s essential to note that Aragonite Sputnik is not suitable for water cleansing, as it may degrade over time.
