Is Halite a native mineral?
No. The definition of a native mineral is described as, among other criterion, a natural occurring mineral consisting of a single element. Halite would not fit this definition as it is a mineral containing sodium and chloride.
A mineral that demonstrates an attraction to certain other materials has this property.?
magnetism
How are native minerals different from other minerals?
A mineral is a substance that results from geologic processes, and is further defined as having a specific chemical composition and physical structure. It's not just a "mix" of stuff. A native mineral is a mineral that is found in a specified locality. If we consider quartz, the most abundant mineral on earth, it could be said to be native to just about anywhere. Hematite, the primary ore of iron, is found on earth (is native to earth), but is also native to Mars as well. The mineral has been found there at the Opportunity landing site. Minerals are "rocks" of a fairly specific nature, and native minerals are minerals from an area that has been defined.
