replies: text:  Actually the IMA is on the same level as say the International zoological association and others.  as the governing body the decision to use the Baryte spelling, the original spelling before the trend to "Americanize" mineral names, IS as binding as a nomenclature name for a primate species. Because the name change was only at most or two ago the google results are going to be skewed to the Barite spelling.  This page should be redirected to the offical spelling.

replies: text:  The USGS (an official organization) uses the spelling "barite", so I am going to reward "Barite is the unofficial American spelling." to "Barite is the official USGS spelling, and is the more common scientific spelling."  While I support keeping the British/IMS spelling for the reasons above, I think this rewording better expresses the actual use of barite/baryte spelling for the mineral.130.39.191.251 (talk) 23:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The alleged specimen of "baryte (barite) with galena and hematite", is in fact Schalenblende - a layered botryoidal mixture of wurtzite (dark) and sphalerite (light) with minor galena and marcasite. It is from the Pomorzany Mine, Olkusz, Poland - a Mississippi Valley Type deposit in Triassic carbonates altered to Fe-rich dolomites. I have a polish geologist friend who's uncle (T. Stanislawski) works in the mine and she gave me a sample. I did a little research into the nature of the unusual material which I originally mistook for an strange form of Banded Iron Formation. --Diamonddavej (talk) 17:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The chembox is for the chemical compound barium sulfate not the mineral. If more crystallographic info is needed, it can be added as a text section. Vsmith (talk) 23:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Why no mention of the common mineral specimen "Barite rose"?  This is also confusingly known as Gypsum rosette, Selenite rose, and Desert rose.  Clarification is needed!  --Prof.Bastedo (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Both floatation separation and gravity separation can work to get high grade baryte. However, the floatation separation will get better baryte powder while gravity separation can help to get lumpy barite concentrate like 2-50mm.
1. Flotation separation
This method works based on the chemical and physical property difference between barite surface and associated minerals surface; The main equipment includes crusher, circle vibrating screen, spiral classifier, agitator, flotation separator, ball mill, and other assistant devices.
2. Gravity Separation: 
This method works based on the density difference between barite and associated minerals density; The main equipment of crusher, circle vibrating screen, shaking table, jig can be involved in the gravity separation of the baryte concentration.  
Density of barite is big, 4.4-4.6g/cm3, while that of its intergrowth impurity is small, like 2.2-2.7g/cm3, and this big density difference makes gravity separation an ideal way to get high-grade barite. In the acctual production of barite upgrading, the main separation machine is jig machine. The barite ore structure and its nature has too much with gravity separation efficiency and the recovery rate. Here the choosing of barite jig machine is the key to guarantee the beneficiation profit.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.127.111.211 (talk) 02:13, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I've introduced this name into the lede since it is one which in Britain at least will be the most well-used amongst many - going through the UK university system in the 1980s this was the only name used. I'd reference the Penguin Dictionary of Geology which offers it as the leading term with barite as a secondary term. Both are used by the British Geological Survey with barytes being used when the mineral is used as a commercial product in for example the BGS memoir to 1:50K geol map 111 of the Buxton area. Whether that's a widespread distinction would be interesting to know. cheers Geopersona (talk) 09:20, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
