Barytes is a common mineral and makes very attractive specimens. It often is an accessory mineral to other minerals and can make a nice backdrop to brightly colored crystals. At times bladed or tabular crystals of Baryte form a concentric pattern of increasingly larger crystals outward. This has the appearance of a flower and when colored red by iron stains, these formations are called "Desert Ros

Calcite, also known as Chalk or Natural Calcium Carbonate, which gets its name from "chalix" the Greek word for lime, is a most amazing and yet, most common mineral. It is one of the most stable, common & widely dispersed minerals on the face of the Earth. It forms oolitic, fossiliferous and massive limestones in sedimentary environments and even serves as the cements for many sandstones and shale

China Clay is also known as hydrated Aluminium Silicate. China clay, one of the purest of the clays, composed chiefly of the mineral kaolinite usually formed when granite is changed by hydrothermal metamorphism. It is one of the most abundant clay available in the earth crust. It is light weight and super white in color. It has high degree of brightness, low plasticity, ease of dispersion and good

Dolomite is chemically double carbonate of calcium and magnesium. It has fine crystalline structure with high brightness. Dolomite has extensive application in steel plant, ceramic tiles, plastics and paper. It has very good exterior durability and so it has good application in paints.

Silica is widely available abundantly in nature. It has natural crystalline structure and has excellent whiteness and brightness. It is inert to acids, alkalies and chemicals. Silica is used in bulk in glass industry, ferro silicon, ferro alloys, welding rods, pottery and other industries.

Steatite is an important industrial mineral. It is also known as french chalk, soap stone powder. It comes in brilliant white and off color. It has extremely soft soapy feeling and the powder is very slippery. Its resistance to heat, electricity and acids make it an ideal surface for lab counter tops and electrical switchboards. It is also an important filler material for paints, rubber and ins
