Barite (baryte) is a mineral composed of barium sulfate (baso4). It receives its name from the greek word barys which means heavy. this name is in response to barites high specific gravity of 4.0 and higher, which is exceptional for a nonmetallic mineral. The high specific gravity of barite makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial, medical and manufacturing uses. Barite also serves as the principal ore of barium.

Chromite is an oxide mineral composed of chromium, iron and oxygen (fecr2o4). It also can be found as in a composition to magnesium instead of iron and become the magnesiochromite (mgcr2o4).It is a dark gray to black in color with a metallic to sub-metallic luster and a high specific gravity. It occurs in basic and ultra basic igneous rocks and in the metamorphic and sedimentary rocks that are produced when chromite-bearing rocks are altered by heat or weathering. Chromite is important because it is the only economic ore of chromium, an essential element for a wide variety of metal, chemical and manufactured products. Many other minerals contain chromium, but none of them are found in deposits that can be economically excavate to produce chromium.
