  2. Halite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halite

    The Khewra salt mine is a massive deposit of halite near Islamabad, Pakistan. Salt domes are vertical diapirs or pipe-like masses of salt that have been essentially "squeezed up" from underlying salt beds by mobilization due to the weight of the overlying rock. Salt domes contain anhydrite, gypsum, and native sulfur, in addition to halite and ...

  4. Halide mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halide_mineral

    Two commercially important halide minerals are halite and fluorite. The former is a major source of sodium chloride, in parallel with sodium chloride extracted from sea water or brine wells. Fluorite is a major source of hydrogen fluoride, complementing the supply obtained as a byproduct of the production of fertilizer. Carnallite and ...

  5. Cleavage (crystal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(crystal)

    Mica (like muscovite or biotite) also has basal cleavage; this is why mica can be peeled into thin sheets. Prismatic cleavage occurs when there are two cleavage planes in a crystal (but not three). Spodumene is an example where the planes meet at a 90 degree angles. Hornblende is an example where the planes intersect at 56° and 124°.

  6. Salt deformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_deformation

    Strictly speaking, salt structures are formed by rock salt that is composed of pure halite (NaCl) crystal. However, most halite in nature appears in impure form, therefore rock salt usually refers to all rocks that composed mainly of halite, sometimes also as a mixture with other evaporites such as gypsum and anhydrite .

    A halite, also known as a halogenite, [1] is an oxyanion containing a halogen in a III oxidation state. It is the conjugate base of a halous acid.

  9. Geology of the Death Valley area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_the_Death...

    Little is known about the history of the oldest exposed rocks in the area due to extensive metamorphism.This somber, gray, almost featureless crystalline complex is composed of originally sedimentary and igneous rocks with large quantities of quartz and feldspar mixed in. [1] The original rocks were transformed to contorted schist and gneiss, making their original parentage almost unrecognizable.
