Witherite is named after English naturalist William Withering, who first described it from where it was discovered in Cumbria, UK. It can be found in shades of white, cream through to yellow. It is unusually heavy for a transparent mineral due to the Barium content.

Witherite facilitates the process of decluttering, both externally and internally - aiding in clearing out physical spaces and organising one's surroundings, promoting a sense of order and cleanliness. This crystal is known for its ability to remove unwanted energies, purifying the energetic environment and creating a harmonious atmosphere. Witherite helps to bring a sense of calm and tranquillity, soothing the mind and promoting relaxation. Its brightening effect on the aura can enhance one's energetic presence and uplift the overall energetic state.
