Halite is made of salt. Halite is hard so it is mined. That means that there use to be an ocean there. Pretty cool right
There are many types of salt, but the most common type is table salt, which is made from Sodium and Chlorine, making NaCl.
Salt is a mineral made up of two elements, Sodium and Chlorine.
"Halite" is a mineralogist's word for "salt".
Halite is a lattice of sodium and chlorine ions.
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion derived from an acid.
by crystallization
Halite is recognized by the IMA as a valid mineral, not a rock. According to the website linked below, "Halite is an evaporative sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral halite (sodium chloride)."
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.
Halite, or salt.
Halite. Salt IS a mineral, a rock. Its name, when you find it on the ground in its natural form, is Halite.
Halite is a type of mineral (rock). Often is used for road salt.
Evaporation of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution.
The mineral formed from sodium chloride is called halite.
Halite is the mineral that we call table salt and is formed by the evaporation of fluids that are saturated in the elements that salt is made of, specifically sodium and chlorine.
This is the mineral (not rock) halite.
No, Halite is not a magnetic mineral.
they form with a solid and metamorphic rock slowly

Halite is a mineral with a crystalline structure.
Halite is a type of mineral or salt.
The mineral halite is non-metallic.
