The mineral barite, from which we get the word "heavy" in Greek, is where the term barytes comes from. Barite may be found in abundance in the southern states of Pakistan. Barium sulphate is a mineral that may be found in nature. It is also often known as barytes. In order to get the ore, mining operations both above and below ground are carried out. This material is distinguished by its low solubility, high specific gravity (4.2-4.5), low abrasion, and x-ray opacity. Its specific gravity is high. In addition to this, it does not produce any hazardous byproducts, is chemically and physically inert, and does not react with anything.
