Summary

Description
English: Halite, Nahcolite
Locality: Searles Lake, San Bernardino County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Okay, halite is salt, but for one thing, it is just as legitimate a mineral as any other, even if you CAN eat it (not this though - it contains bacteria so don't lick it!). This batch of gorgeous halite specimens was mined recently in California, and they are REALLY distinctive. Look at the amazingly fine structure of the crystals and beautiful bright pink color! But more than that, they have this wonderful contrast with a uniquely new matrix covered with minute nahcolite. Bottom line: it is just a plain stunningly pretty mineral specimen from a recent find; I bought ALL OF THEM THAT WERE AVAILABLE from the one contact who brought them to a show last year in California (not Tucson ‘06 – this is from 2005). NOTE that they are sensitive to humidity. 8.5 x 7 x 4.2 cm
