Note:- Although frequently spelled Barite in the US and some other places, the official IMA spelling is Baryte. 

Names in 1800 by Dietrich Ludwig Gustav Karsten from the Greek βαρύς, (Barys), meaning heavy. This name is in response to barite's high specific gravity of 4.5, which is exceptional for a nonmetallic mineral. Whilst Baryte is not a particularly rare mineral, top quality tabular crystals like these most definitely are with the crystals growing parallel to one another, or nearly so. Baryte is a mineral composed of barium sulphate (BaSO4). The high specific gravity of barite makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial, medical, and manufacturing uses.

Baryte is the primary ore of Barium, which is used to make a wide variety of Barium compounds. Some of these are used for x-ray shielding, as Barite has the ability to block x-ray and gamma-ray emissions. Barite compounds are also used in diagnostic medical tests. Baryte is used to make high-density concrete to block x-ray emissions in hospitals, power plants, and laboratories and is also used in the oil and gas industry with relation to drilling.

Baryte encourages, restores, heals, and re-establishes the mind-body connection. This stone will make you aware of the feelings and circumstances that are preventing you from moving forward.

It will help you eradicate old, outdated, and negative mental habits by highlighting negative thinking. Baryte encourages you to embrace your inner truth, which will lead to growth and inner tranquility.
