Pink halite surprises people: it is natural salt grown into blocky crystals, and this cluster has a long, low shape.
At about 6.5 inches across but only 3 inches in the other direction, it reads as a horizontal piece, well suited to a narrow shelf, an office desk or the front row of a collection. The pink color comes from impurities trapped as the salt crystallized, which is why the shade shifts across the cubes. It is light, at about 405 grams, so it travels well as a gift for a geology fan or a friend who cooks with pink salt and would enjoy seeing it in crystal form. You will receive the exact cluster pictured.
This cluster is roughly 3 by 6.5 by 2.5 inches and weighs about 405 grams. The ruler photo shows its length.
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.
