Also known as rocksalt, rock salt, Halite
Halite ( ), commonly known as rock salt, is a type of salt, the mineral (natural) form of sodium chloride (NaCl). Halite forms isometric crystals. The mineral is typically colorless or white, but may also be light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow or gray depending on inclusion of other materials, impurities, and structural or isotopic abnormalities in the crystals. It commonly occurs with other evaporite deposit minerals such as several of the sulfates, halides, and borates. The name halite is derived from the Ancient Greek word for "salt", ().
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.

石盐（英語：Halite），又稱矿盐、岩盐，是食鹽的一种，是氯化钠（NaCl）的天然矿物形式。石盐是立方晶系晶体。石盐通常为无色或白色，但也可能为浅蓝色、深蓝色、紫色、粉红色、红色、橙色、黄色或灰色，具体取决于晶体中是否包含其他材料、杂质以及结构或同位素异常。它通常与其他蒸发岩矿床矿物一起出现，例如几种硫酸盐、卤化物和硼酸盐。石盐的英文名来源于古希腊语中的ἅλς（háls，意為“盐”）。
