Couple of things - What you call Barite is Calcite. I have Barite at the mine also, but Barite specific gravity at my mine is about 4.3 - 4.4, with a hardness of 3 The Calcite from the mine comes in at 2.72 - 2.75 and also a hardness of 3 (which makes it tough). But the Barite is 1.5X heavier... ALSO - The Calcite at my mine fluoresces red/green (red one direction, green another - so try spinning one under UV). The barite at my mine fluoresces "dindgy brown" to "dindgy yellow". Second - what you are calling Hyalite is "vapor-deposited Calcite" that contains 1% Copper. Other than that - VERY VERY AWESOME WORK - I have needed to do this for a while...
