The 7 pages that link to Baryte, each with the reason it gives.

• BariumRelated: Most industrial barium begins with this abundant, dense mineral.

• Calcium sulfateCompared with: Barite shares the sulfate anion but substitutes barium for calcium and is far less soluble.

• Drilling fluidRelated: Adding barite raises fluid density without requiring an excessively high solids volume.

• Barium carbonateRelated: Industrial barium compounds are commonly produced from barite rather than scarce witherite.

• AnhydriteCompared with: Barite resembles anhydrite in being a sulfate mineral but contains barium instead of calcium.

• Dresser FormationRelated: Barite deposits in the formation preserve clues to ancient fluids and seawater chemistry.

• Sulfate mineralBroader topic: Barite illustrates how a different metal cation produces another widespread sulfate species.
