Natural barite consists of barium sulfate, while precipitated barium sulfate is obtained through an ion reaction in solution, resulting in smaller particles.

Natural barite consists of barium sulfate, while precipitated barium sulfate is obtained through an ion reaction in solution, resulting in smaller particles. So, when barite is ground very finely, it essentially becomes precipitated barium sulfate. In summary, the two substances are the same, with the only difference being the particle size. That is to say, these two types of particles have identical chemical properties.
