Halite, also known as “rock salt,” is a common and well-known mineral essential for life. It is a naturally occurring form of salt and can be found in salt lakes and oceans as a dissolved solution or as solid deposits in various locations formed through different geological processes. Halite occurs in a range of colors due to 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.
Halite crystallizes in the isometric system, with transparent to translucent clarity, brittle tenacity, a vitreous luster, a white streak, and a Mohs hardness of 2–2.5. Beyond its geological significance, halite is widely used as a culinary salt and is also applied in large quantities to melt ice on roads and walkways, ensuring safe travel.
In the metaphysical realm, pink halite is regarded as a crystal of personal power and healing, associated with the element of earth and the astrological sign Cancer. While it resonates with all chakras, daily proximity or wearing it as jewelry is believed to harmonize the solar plexus and heart chakras, promoting self-love and a nurturing lifestyle. Pink halite is also thought to dissolve doubt and confusion, heal emotional wounds, and assist in clearing both physical and spiritual environments. This may help address long-avoided projects, unhealthy relationships, or lingering habits.
Some people use pink halite in bathwater, claiming it clears and restores spiritual energy. A single piece can be used repeatedly until it fully dissolves. Due to its purification properties, halite is also commonly used to cleanse other crystals; placing crystals in a bowl of salt is believed to remove impurities or negative energy accumulated over time.
