Barium compounds are used in a variety of applications. Barium sulfate is used as a contrast medium in X-ray imaging, barium titanate is used in electronics for capacitors, and barium carbonate is used in the production of ceramics and glass. However, due to its toxicity, barium should be handled with caution.

Is barium a native mineral?

Barium is not a mineral, but is a chemical element. Barium, an alkaline metal, is quite reactive, and it is never found free in nature. Rather, it forms compounds that make up some minerals like barite, which is barium sulfate, and witherite, which is barium carbonate.

What uses barium?

Barium is often used in barium-nickel alloys for spark-plug electrodes in vacuum tubes as drying and oxygen-removing agent. It is also used in fluorescent lamps: impure barium sulphide phosphoresces after exposure to the light. Barium compounds are used by the oil and gas industries to make drilling mud. Drilling mud simplifies drilling through rocks by lubricating the drill. Barium compounds are also used to make paint, bricks, tiles, glass, and rubber. Barium nitrate and chlorate give fireworks a green colour.
