What is the solubility of Barium carbonate?

I know this compound is insoluble, but what's its numerical solubility at 0 and 100 deegres Celcius? (or anywhere between these temperatures)

Ksp of BaCO3 ( at 25°C) is 5.1 x 10^-9
BaCO3 <----> Ba2+ + CO32-
Molar solubility = square root 5.1 x 10^-9 = 7.1 x 10^-5 mol/L
This means that the solubility per Liter is :
7.1 x 10^-5 x 247.77 = 0.018 g

Its not insoluble, its sparingly soluble. Look up Chemdex for the exact values.
