Barite.—Axes a : ^ : c = : i: The prevailing faces are the unit prism m, the basal pinacoid c,the macro dome n= (a: 00 b: i c), and the brachy dome, d =( oo« ). Fig. 191. Fig. 192. Fig. All of these are shown in Fig. 196. Fig. 195 contains also thebrachy pinacoid h and Fig. 193 the macro pinacoid a. Figs. 191,192 and 194 are simpler combinations of the same forms.
