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 pink color! But more than that, they have a uniquely new matrix covered with minute nahcolite. Bottom line: it is just a plain really 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 this year in California. NOTE that they are sensitive to humidity. 10.3 x 7.6 x 4.6 cm
