Barytes (or barite) is the natural mineral form of  Barium Sulphate. Barites main properties are its high specific gravity 4.50 g/cm3,  very low solubility;  non-toxic, and  chemically and physically unreactive.   The barite is broadly used in applications including middle & high-grade paint, paper-making, pharmaceutical, rubber, cosmetics, and plastics. Barite is the most common mineral composed of barium and sulfate, which usually occurs naturally in sedimentary rocks, hydrothermal ore veins, as well as in marine deposits.   Chemical formula for barite is BaSO4.   It has a high specific gravity of 4.50 g/cm3. Its Mohs hardness is 3.0 to 3.5.   Barite, which may be found in a variety of colors including Yellow, Brown, White, Blue, Gray, or  colorless,
