Baryte from France (old collection).

Barite, also known as barytine, is a mineral primarily composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4). It is characterized by its variable color, ranging from white to gray, yellow, brown, or even colorless. Its crystalline structure can form prismatic or tabular crystals. Barite is widely used in various industrial sectors, including the manufacture of paints, plastics, chemicals, and in the oil industry as a weighting agent in drilling fluids. Its high density also makes it a valuable mineral in the field of medical radiography.
