Haliteâs most distinctive characteristic is its salty taste. For practical and sanitary reasons, you probably should not test the taste of a mineral sample by directly licking the sample. Instead, moisten your finger, rub the sample and then taste the residue left on your finger.
Because of its transparent to translucent crystals, halite may initially be mistaken as other common minerals. However, its distinctive taste, combined with its perfect cubic cleavage, low hardness, and the ease with which small fragments dissolve in water should make it easy to identify.
