Barium occurs in nature only in a combine state, chiefly as BARYTES (Barium Sulphate). The word Barytes is derived from Greek word ‘Barry’s’ which means heavy. Because of its heavy nature and high specific gravity the major use of barites is in the preparation of oil well drilling muds. It is a moderately soft crystalline material with Moh’s hardness of 3 to 3.5 and varies in column from white to light shades of grey, red and brown.
