Here is a picture of some Colorado Barite we found while researching for the rally.
Colorado has several locations for Barite. It comes in several colors from clear, milky white, blues and greens.

After reading this thread I think I may of found some barite and I never knew what it was. Is it found in the san juans; is it volcanic? Im no geologist and never know exactly what to look for, what is the host rock it is found on?
Thanks, Dude -------------------- Dude, Duder, or El Dudearino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
