Pink Halite from Seales Lake in Southern California, is a cubic, hopper shaped salt crystal.
The color of halite ranges from pure white to a dark red (think merlot)
The optimal collecting time comes in the fall, as the lake has evaporated down during the hot summer months and the salt has begun to precipitate out of solution, rather like rock candy. The brine pools turn a deeper red color as the saline solutions concentrate.
When the salt crystals begin to form, sometimes the pink pigment becomes trapped in the crystals, which is why some of the most sought after halite has a phenomenal pink to burgundy color.
**Please note that halite is highly water soluble so this specimen may degrade in excessively humid environments. Don't put it in your bathroom! These specimens have not been tested to determine if they are food grade salt.
