Rock salt (sodium chloride) is a compound - NaCl.
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.
table salt used to season foods is made of the mineral haite.
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)."
