The Barite field of the Sulfates section should list stations that exhibit some form of barite.
Barite (also known as barium sulfate) is a fragile, semi-hard mineral with perfect prismatic cleavage. Barite is not a metal, but is very heavy. It is white or bluegray in color and, if found, it usually indicates nearby ore deposits. It can be identified by its weight and color.
