Table salt, or just salt, NaCl, is a mineral. It is usually referred by geologists as the mineral halite. The difference between rocks in minerals is that rocks are made of combinations of minerals, and not the other way around. A classic way to think of this is minerals being "letters", and rocks being "words".
