  2. Halite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halite

    In these cases, halite is said to be behaving like a rheid. Unusual, purple, fibrous vein-filling halite is found in France and a few other localities. Halite crystals termed hopper crystals appear to be "skeletons" of the typical cubes, with the edges present and stairstep depressions on, or rather in, each crystal face. In a rapidly ...

  3. Halide mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halide_mineral

    Two commercially important halide minerals are halite and fluorite. The former is a major source of sodium chloride, in parallel with sodium chloride extracted from sea water or brine wells. Fluorite is a major source of hydrogen fluoride, complementing the supply obtained as a byproduct of the production of fertilizer. Carnallite and ...

  4. Hydrohalite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrohalite

    Above this temperature, liquid water saturated with salt can exist in equilibrium with hydrohalite. Hydrohalite has a strong positive temperature coefficient of solubility, unlike halite. [2] Hydrohalite decomposes at 0.1°C, giving a salty brine and solid halite. Under pressure, hydrohalite is stable between 7,900 and 11,600 atmospheres pressure.

  6. Polyhalite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhalite

    Polyhalite is an evaporite mineral, a hydrated sulfate of potassium, calcium and magnesium with formula: K 2 Ca 2 Mg(SO 4) 4 ·2H 2 O. Polyhalite crystallizes in the triclinic system, although crystals are very rare. The normal habit is massive to fibrous. It is typically colorless, white to gray, although it may be brick red due to iron oxide ...

  7. List of mineral symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mineral_symbols

    Mineral symbols (text abbreviations) are used to abbreviate mineral groups, subgroups, and species, just as lettered symbols are used for the chemical elements. The first set of commonly used mineral symbols was published in 1983 and covered the common rock-forming minerals using 192 two- or three-lettered symbols. [ 1 ]

  8. Sodium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride

    It is transparent or translucent, brittle, hygroscopic, and occurs as the mineral halite. In its edible form, it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. Large quantities of sodium chloride are used in many industrial processes, and it is a major source of sodium and chlorine compounds used as feedstocks for further chemical ...
