Very bright crystals are often. Chemical Formula: PbCO3; Hardness: 3 - 3.5; Color: Colorless, white, cream, light gray, light yellow, and brown. Barite is a common mineral and makes very attractive specimens. It often is an accessory mineral to other minerals and can make a nice backdrop to brightly colored crystals. At times bladed or tabular crystals of Barite form a concentric pattern of increasingly larger crystals outward. This has the appearance of a flower and when colored red by iron stains, these formations are called "Desert Roses". Barite often replaces other minerals, and may even replace organic materials such as wood, shells, and fossils. It sometimes forms tufacious mounds from deposition of hot, barium-rich springs. It is isomorphous and very similar in form with the mineral Celestine, and may partially replace it. Chemical Formula: BaSO4; Color: Colorless, white, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, brown, blue, green, gray, and black. Hardness: 3 - 3.5; Specific Gravity: 4.3 - 4.6.
