Barite is found in calcite nodules in boulders resulting from cliff falls.
Previously though to be celestine from 19th century reports, investigations, including contemporary accounts and museum specimens said to be celestine, have shown most of the so-called celestine came from the area around Peak Hill and to be barite.
