Pieratti in the XVII century sited in Boboli Garden (Florence), an ancient mortar used as glue of iron pivots with very particular characteristics was found. Indeed this mortar was made of a magnesium hydroxide based binder (brucite) and barite (barium sulphate) as aggregate. This mortar still show excellent conservation conditions.
