Linwood Mine Big Rare Block Barite • Shamanic retailer • Astral Travel • Lucid Dreaming • Native • Earth Magic • Gentle Energy Cleansing •

This piece is super rare as it's hard to find barite that occurs in block form. This is a big piece retailer with great formations.

From the Linwood Mine in Iowa.

Barite is thought to have been often used by the Native Americans in their religious practices. Apparently, the Natives used it to shape shift as well as to go from the physical world to the spiritual.


​Barite takes a wide variety of forms and occurs as blade, prismatic and often large tabular crystals. It also occurs in lamellar, fibrous crystal formations. Barite can be colourless, yellow, red, blue, green, brown or black depending on the included mineral content. At times bladed or tabular crystals of barite form a concentric pattern of increasingly larger crystals outward. This has the appearance of a flower. Some varieties of barIte can be fluorescent.


On a physical level Barite can be used to help cleanse the system of toxins, to soothe a nervous stomach and to assist in the healing of addictions.

Working with Barite can help to increase your understanding of how natural energy flows through living systems, which makes it a helpful stone for anyone involved in health care or the healing arts.

Many crystals can be used to break up energy blockages, sometimes quite violently, but barite has a gentle and subtle effect and can be used long term over the course of several months to balance your internal flow of energy.
Working with this mineral can help you clarify the underlying energy problems that lead to dependence and help you work more effectively to break free of addictions.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks.
