Hartsel, Colorado is famous for its Blue Barite (Ba,S,O), and you may or may not still be able to dig any for yourself, but you can get this one! Blue Barite isn’t too common elsewhere, but Barite/Baryte in general is found almost everywhere with 13,704 recorded localities on mindat in a variety of colors and rocks and formations. Although, not all Barite/Baryte specimens are this awesome!

Its name comes from the Greek, βαρύς, romanized as barús, meaning ‘heavy’. Most Barite is mined to be used in the Oil and Natural Gas industries as an additive in drilling mud to make it heavier and prevent blowouts, but crystals like these are highly prized by collectors!
