In gemstone healing, Barite is important for imparting strength and vitality. Strengthened in this way, everyday life can be tackled energetically and independently. Difficult phases during a task or project can be overcome more easily with the support of Barite.
Barite is a barium sulphate that has been known by this name since around 1800. Barite received its traditional name "barite" (from the Greek "barus" = "heavy") due to its relatively high density for a non-metallic mineral. This property also makes Barite a sought-after material in the extraction of oil and gas.
It is added to the drilling fluid and stabilizes the borehole due to its high density.
Barite is also indispensable in medicine - as an additive, it reduces the radiolucency of concrete walls, which is used in the construction of X-ray rooms, for example. Barium sulphate is used as a contrast agent in X-ray imaging.
Synonyms for Barite are allomorphite, Barite rose, Bolognese luminescent stone, Bolognese spar or stone, hepatite, calcareous barite, comb spar, bar spar, tabular spar and Wolnyn.
