Halite, also known as “rock salt,” is a common and well-known mineral that is essential for life. It occurs naturally as a solid mass in deposits or dissolved in salt lakes and oceans, formed through various geological processes.
Halite can appear in a range of colors, caused by impurities, crystal lattice defects, or—in the case of peach and pink varieties—bacteria found in certain dry lake deposits. As a sodium chloride crystal, it must be kept dry because it is soluble in water.
It crystallizes in the isometric crystal system and is transparent to translucent. Halite has a brittle tenacity, a vitreous luster, a white streak, and a Mohs hardness of 2–2.5.
Beyond its geological and mineralogical interest, halite is widely used as a culinary salt for flavoring food. It is also applied in large quantities to melt ice on roads and walkways, helping ensure safe travel.
In the metaphysical world, pink halite is regarded as a crystal of personal power and healing and is associated with the element of earth and the astrological sign of cancer. Although it is also associated with all chakras of the body, keeping it near or wearing it set in jewelry daily is believed to result in the harmonization of the solar plexus and heart chakras, resulting in the promotion of self-love and a self-loving lifestyle. Pink halite's influence is also said to dissolve doubt and confusion, heal emotional wounds, and facilitate the cleaning up of one's physical and spiritual environments. This means that long-avoided incomplete projects, unhealthy relationships, bad habits, and the like may be addressed. Additionally, some people choose to put pink halite in their bathwater, claiming that it clears and restores their spiritual energy. One piece may be used over and over again until it completely dissolves in the water. Because of its excellent purification properties, many people use halite to cleanse other crystals. Simply taking a bowl of salt and placing your crystals in it is believed to rid said crystals of any impurities or negative energy acquired through use over time.
