powdered Sodium chloride
Rock salt crystallizes from halite, which is a mineral form of sodium chloride commonly found in sedimentary rocks.
People commonly refer to the mineral halite (NaCl = sodium chloride) as rock salt. Rock salt is formed by the continuous evaporation of sea water. In the sequence of minerals precipitating out of the water halite comes after gypsum and anhydrite (calcium sulphate minerals) and before the rarer types of chlorides like potassium chloride.
When magma crystallizes, igneous rocks are formed. The type of igneous rock that is formed depends on the chemical composition of the magma and the rate at which it cools.
Chemical sedimentary rock is created by precipitation of minerals out of, or evaporation from, saturated solutions that are high in dissolved minerals. Rock gypsum and rock salt are two examples.
It becomes an igneous rock.
Rock salt deposits form through the evaporation of saline water in enclosed basins or evaporite environments. As the water evaporates, the dissolved salt crystallizes and precipitates out, forming layers of rock salt over time. This process is known as 'halite precipitation'.
When magma crystallizes, it becomes igneous rock. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock material. The texture and composition of the igneous rock are determined by the rate of cooling and the mineral content of the magma.
felsic rock
Intrusive rocks are formed when rock is squeezed into underground cavities in other types of rock, where it crystallizes.

Rock salt is not a rock...its just a salt that can be extracted from salty water especially from sea water.
When it cools and crystallizes into rock, the rock will be described as felsic igneous rock. Examples of felsic igneous rocks are granite, rhyolite, and pumice.
