Summary
[edit]DescriptionRock salt (halitite) 4.jpg |
English: Rock salt is a chemical sedimentary rock that forms by the evaporation of water, usually seawater, and the precipitation of dissolved minerals. Such rocks are called evaporites. Rock salt and rock gypsum are the two most common evaporites.
Rock salt is composed of the mineral halite (NaCl - sodium chloride). It ranges in color from clearish to whitish to grayish to orangish-brown, but sometimes has other colors, such as blue. It has a strongly salty taste, is often coarsely-crystalline, and is relatively soft (H = 2.5). Rock salt is also known as halitite, which refers to sedimentary evaporite deposits composed of halite (NaCl). "Halitite" has also been used in the geologic literature to refer to rock salt that's been contact metamorphosed by igneous intrusions. |
