Raw Halite, Mineral Specimen - Hand Sample - Approx. 3"

• HALITE | Halite is commonly known as table salt. This soft, white to transparent mineral grows into cleavable cubes
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Useful for lessons in cleavage planes and how evaporite deposits form in nature. This mineral is an excellent example of cubic cleavage - when broken Halite will continually break into smaller cubes
• GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
• LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, NY
• INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification

Raw Halite Specimen
Single Hand Sample, 3"

Halite is commonly known as table salt. This soft, white to transparent mineral grows into cleavable cubes. Useful for lessons in cleavage planes and how evaporite deposits form in nature. This mineral is an excellent example of cubic cleavage - when broken Halite will continually break into smaller cubes.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 3" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.

Selected & Processed by a Geologist.
Each and every specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Rocks and minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.
