Witherite

A natural barium carbonate mineral, BaCO3.

Witherite is a rarer barium mineral than barite. It is barium carbonate rather than barium sulphate, and over time it can alter naturally to barite.

In trade, natural barium carbonate is classified under HS code 2511.20, alongside natural barium sulphate under 2511.10.
