Barite is a mineral composed primarily of barium sulfate (BaSO4). It commonly forms in veins and nodules, often alongside other minerals. Barite typically has a white, gray, or colorless appearance, though it can also be found in shades of blue, brown, or red. It has a high specific gravity, making it valuable in various industrial applications, including drilling muds in the oil and gas industry and as filler in paints and plastics.
