Origin: Morocco
Description: Barite, also spelled baryte, is a mineral composed of Barium, Sulfur, and Oxygen. Barium is extremely low on the periodic table, and thusly has extremely high density. As a result, barite weighs significantly more than most other other minerals of the same size - for example, the weight per cubic centimeter of barite is just under double that of quartz. These specimens feature beautiful rosettes of well formed barite blades with striking complex terminations. They are highly reminiscent of flowers.
White and grey Barites like these are often associated with the crown chakra (Sahasrara) and the third eye chakra (Ajna) in metaphysical practices. barite, with its pure and clear appearance, is thought to enhance spiritual awareness and facilitate a deeper connection with the divine or higher self. Its clarity and purity are believed to support the expansion of spiritual insight and consciousness. Barite is also thought to help in accessing deeper levels of intuition and insight. It may aid in mental clarity and help open up the third eye chakra, enhancing one's ability to perceive beyond ordinary senses.
