Halite, commonly known as rock salt, is the natural mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl) that typically appears as colorless or white crystals, though it can also be various other colors depending on impurities. It matters because it's a naturally occurring salt mineral that commonly occurs alongside other evaporite minerals and has practical applications as a source of salt.
