Halite is plain rock salt, yet it grows into neat, square cubes, and pink halite adds a soft blush to that geometry.
This is a big, chunky cluster of pink halite crystals, heavy enough to sit firmly on a shelf and large enough to read from across a room. The pink tone comes from impurities caught in the salt as it crystallized, so the color varies from cube to cube. It suits a mineral collection, a science themed office or a bookcase in a dry room. For a curious friend who likes minerals that are a little unexpected, a salt crystal this size is a fun gift. The cluster in the photos is the one you will receive.
It measures about 6 by 5 by 3.5 inches and weighs about 1 kilogram. There is a ruler photo for scale and a close up of the crystal faces.
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.
