About the stone:
Spiritual Healing – As a shamanic stone, Celestobarite helps to bring balance in thought. The stone is known to act as a guardian or as a guiding light. It is also a stone that continuously reminds us that nothing in life remains the same and everything keeps changing.
Celestobarite is a relatively rare mineral, and its distribution is limited compared to more common minerals like quartz or feldspar. It is found in select locations around the world, typically in association with specific geological settings conducive to its formation.
