There are many minerals made of a combination of sulfur and a metal. Common ones include -
Pyrite - FeS2 (Iron sulphide)
Galena - PbS (Lead sulphide)
Sphalerite - ZnS (Zinc sulphide)
Chalcopyrite - CuFeS2 (Copper Iron Sulphide)
Covellite - CuS (Copper Sulphide)
Sulfates and sulfides are minerals that contain the element sulfur.
Sulfide minerals consist of a metal plus sulfur - example galena PbS
Sulfate minerals consist of a metal plus the sulfate radical SO4 - Gypsum CaSO4
Gypsum is a sulfate and not a silicate. It is an evaporite mineral and a soft mineral that is composed of calcium.
Bicarbonate of soda is the most common name for sodium sulfate. Sodium sulfate is a compound used for the treatment of an upset stomach. A "home remedy" for many years this compound will be in use for a long time to come.
Barytes is a common mineral that is Barium Sulfate.
A Sulfate
Barite is a mineral consisting of the compound BaSO4 (Barium Sulfate).
Baryte is an extremely heavy sulfate mineral and is a nonsilicate. It is generally colorless and is the main source of barium.
it's in the mineral group sulfate because gypsum is a hydrous calcium sulfate
No. Calcite is a carbonate mineral.
