Halite grows in cubes, a habit few minerals display so plainly, and this pink formation puts it on full view.
It is a compact, chunky specimen with stacked crystal faces and pink tones that change from one block to the next, since the color comes from impurities trapped in the salt. At about 5 inches it fits easily into a display case or on a small stand, and it is a fresh choice for a mineral collector who already has the usual quartz and amethyst. The formation shown is the formation you get.
Expect a size of about 3.5 by 5 by 2.5 inches and a weight of about 475 grams. One photo shows it next to a ruler.
About Halite
Halite is natural rock salt, sodium chloride. It grows as isometric crystals, most often cubes, and although it is usually colorless or white, impurities and inclusions can tint it pink, red, blue, purple or gray. It is soft, about 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale, and it dissolves in water.
Stone Meaning: Halite is traditionally associated with cleansing and renewal.
