Morgan Estate Well Number 1 Occurrence, Region including sec. However, many inland lakes such as the Great Salt Lake of North America and the Dead Sea between Jordan and Israel are also locations where halite is forming today. as food seasoning, Hammers, Chisels, Loupes, Cotton-filled boxes, etc. Salt has many uses, and must be heavily mined to satisfy demand. Halite , commonly known as rock salt, is a type of salt, the mineral (natural) form of sodium chloride (Na Cl). The minerals that make up the halide class include those in which the halogen elements of chlorine, bromine, fluorine, and iodine are combined with one or more metals. © Copyright 1997 - 2020 Hershel Friedman and Minerals.net, all rights reserved.

Halite, the natural form of salt, is a very common and well-known mineral. The mineral is typically colorless or white, but may also be light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow or gray depending on inclusion of other materials, impurities, and structural or isotopic abnormalities in the crystals. If you are requesting a locality be added, please only include. (FRL) - First Recorded Locality for everything else (eg varieties). (TL) - Type Locality for a valid mineral species. SUPPORT US . The strong salty taste combined with its crystal formations will distinguish Halite from all other minerals. ⓘ - Click for further information on this occurrence.
