A number of barite districts are known in central and south-east Missouri. The central Missouri Barite District is defined by a series of small high grade barite deposits in the form of open space fillings in solution collapse structures in carbonate rocks.
In South-east Missouri there are extensive low grade residual deposits resulting from the weathering and dissolution of carbonate host rocks.
Studies show the barite to be distinctly later than the lead-zinc mineralisation of the Old Lead Belt and Virburnum Trend, also in Missouri
These deposits have historically made Missouri one of the world's leading producers of barite .
