Barite is distinguished by its wide spectrum of colors and diverse crystal shapes and habits, making it a favorite among mineral collectors. Its notable density differentiates it from many lighter, similar minerals. Barite frequently replaces other minerals and can even substitute for organic matter such as wood, shells, and fossils. Additionally, it occasionally forms tufaceous mounds through the accumulation of deposits from hot, barium-rich springs.

Purple Fluorite is a calcium-based mineral known for its range of colors, which result from hydrocarbon impurities in its otherwise colorless structure. Variations include multicolored and banded forms, with Rainbow Fluorite specimens exhibiting vibrant, multihued bands that are highly prized in collections.
