Blue Barite

Barite is recognized for its wide variety of colors and distinctive crystal shapes and patterns. It is highly valued by collectors due to these unique features. One way to identify barite is by its notable heaviness, which contrasts with the lighter weight of similar minerals. Barite commonly replaces other minerals and can even substitute for organic materials like wood, shells, and fossils. Additionally, it can form tufaceous mounds when deposited by hot springs rich in barium.
