Barite - Mineral species a variety of feldspar mineralOrigin: Morocco Description: Barite, also spelled baryte, is a mineral composed of Barium, Sulfur, and Oxygen. Barium is extremely low on the periodic table, and thusly has extremely high density. As a result, barite weighs significantly more than most other other minerals of the same size for example, the weight per cubic centimeter of barite is just under double that of quartz. These specimens feature beautiful rosettes of well formed barite blades
