Historically, Barite was used by ancient cultures because of its spiritual appearance, but today it is especially valued in meditation, healing, and energy work. Thanks to its calm, grounding frequency, Barite is often worn as a pendant, bracelet, or necklace, where it symbolizes inner balance and focused clarity.
