Barite, also spelled baryte, is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate (BaSO4). It's generally white or colorless, and is the main source of the element barium.
This mineral has a very high specific gravity, which is in the range of 4.1 to 4.5. That's unusually high for a nonmetallic mineral.
Barite is found in hydrothermal ore veins, sedimentary rocks like limestone, clay deposits, marine environments, and cavities in igneous rock. It commonly forms as large tabular crystals, clusters of crystals, or divergent plates.
Features Of Barite

It is non-toxic and physically and chemically non-reactive. It is available in hydrous form as well as lumps.
