Barite is a mineral consisting of the compound BaSO4 (Barium Sulfate).
A Sulfate
Barium is an element which does not occur in pure (native) form on Earth. The two most common minerals in which barium occurs are Barite (BaSO4) and Witherite (BaCO3). According to its entry on wikipedia, Barite has Perfect cleavage parallel to base and prism faces: {001} Perfect, {210} Perfect, {010} Imperfect. I am unsure what sort of cleavage Witherite has.
We call BaSO4 barium sulfate. That's its chemical name. It is present in barite, the mineral from which we generally recover barium. The sulfate of barium is sometimes called blanc fixe, which translates into "permanent white" from the French.

Benzene is the most common one that has no atoms of any other element. There are dozens if not thousands of such compounds when other elements are allowed.

BaSO4
The chemical formula of barite is BaSO4. See the chapter 4 of the link below for barite geochemistry.
BaSO4 is a type of mineral known as Barite which is made from barium sulfate. It comes in many colors but it is commonly milky white or has no color at all.
A Sulfate
Barium sulfate (BaSO4) is a compound. It consists of three elements, barium, sulfur and oxygen chemically combined. Together these elements make up the compound.
I believe that baryite and the mineral barite are one in the same. At that conclusion, we can assume that its chemical formula is BaSO4.
