Sphalerite ((Zn, Fe)S) is a mineral and ore of zinc. When the iron content is high, sphalerite is an opaque black variety called marmatite.
Ernst Friedrich Glocker discovered it in 1847 and named it based on the Greek word “sphaleros“, meaning deceiving, due to sphalerite being hard to identify. Sphalerite occurs in association with galena, chalcopyrite, pyrite (and other sulfides), calcite, dolomite, quartz, rhodochrosite, and fluorite. Miners sometimes refer to sphalerite as zinc blende, black-jack, and ruby blende.
Barite is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate (BaSO4). It is generally white or colorless and is the main source of the element barium.
