	BinaryNotions.com - Halite
		Halite (named after the mineral) is a C++ BitTorrent client based on the excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software.
		The reason for the lull in development on Halite was because my attentions had turned to getting libHTTP up and running as I wanted to use that for supporting the XML-RPC layer communication layer between Halite and midpHalite.
		Also Halite went through a major code rewrite to improve the way it remembered information about torrents in progress.

	SDNHM - Halite
		Halite is an evaporite, which means it forms when water evaporates and leaves behind dissolved solids.
		Halite forms in shallow desert lakes and can be found in dried up lakebeds and inland seas.
		In this region, halite can be found at the Salton Sea in Imperial County, and Searles Lake, a dry lake in San Bernardino County.

	Halite - Definition, explanation
		Halite is the mineral of sodium chloride, NaCl, commonly known as rock salt.
		Halite crystals termed hopper crystals appear to be "skeletons" of the typical cubes, with the edges present and stairstep depressions on, or rather in, each crystal face.
		Halite flowers are rare stalactites of curling fibers of halite that are found in certain arid caves of Australia's Nullarbor Plain.

	Halite, the Mineral (DesertUSA)
		Halite is called an evaporite because it is formed by the evaporation of saline water in partially enclosed basins.
		When halite occurs in non-arid regions, it is only possible for it to exist in underground deposits, for anything on the surface would dissolve from rainwater.
		Indeed, a great deal of halite is found in ancient bedrock all over the world where large extinct salt lakes and seas evaporated millions of years ago, leaving behind thick deposits of salt in beds that range from a few feet to more than 1,000 feet in thickness.

	Michigan Halite
		Since the Quincy is a copper mine located in Keweenawan lava flows far removed from sedimentary strata known to contain halite, and especially since many of the crystals show well-developed octahedral faces, it is believed that the occurrence and the mineral are worthy of description.
		The part of the 85th level where the halite was found in such abundance has not been in use for six years, and the drift is subject to a continuous air current.
		As the walls, floors, and crevices are covered with halite in a manner similar to the occurrences of calcium carbonate in limestone caves, it is believed that the halite was precipitated by evaporation from waters as they oozed from crevices in the rock or concentrated in small pools on the floor.

	HALITE (Sodium Chloride)
		Since taste is an important property of salt, there is a right way to taste a specimen of halite (or an unknown mineral that is similar to halite) and a wrong way.
		Halite is found in many current evaporative deposits such as near Salt Lake City, Utah and Searles Lake California in the U.S., where it crystallizes out of evaporating brine lakes.
		Perfectly formed cubes of halite are typical of the habit of this mineral.

		Physically, halite is used to aid assimilation of the proper amount of iodine.
		Halite is found in ancient bedrock all over the world where large extinct salt lakes and seas have evaporated millions of years ago.
		Halite specimens should be handled, stored and displayed carefully as halite absorbs water readily, damaging the specimen.

	Halite
		Halite is mined by shaft mining or by pumping water into the deposit and later pumping out the brine.
		The halite is recrystallized, becoming very pure in the process.
		Halite is colorless when it is pure, but it is usually discolored.

	Halite rock cystal salt lamp ionizer
		These beautiful lamps are made from natural Rock Salt Crystal (Halite) accumulated over millions of years in salt caverns deep under ground in the Himalayan Mountains.
		When the core of halite is hollowed out, and a light bulb placed inside, the result is a release of negative ions into the atmosphere.
		Halite rock salt crystal lamps produce a stable emitting field of 500-900 negative ions in 1 cubic centimeter of surrounding air,

	Halite
		In fact, one way to get the halite used for table salt and road salt is to extract it from seawater by evaporating the water.
		The sure way to determine if a mineral is halite is to taste it.
		Instead, lick a finger and rub it against the mineral specimen that you think is halite.

	Mineral description : Halite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Halite is the same thing as the common tablesalt.
		It forms when parts of the oceans is cut of and dries out (as the Mediterranean Sea once did) or in seas without outlets (for example The Dead Sea).
		Thanks to our humid climate in Scandinavia, halite is very rare here and only found in special circumstances.

	With a Grain of Salt: What Halite Has to Offer to Discussions on the Origin of Life \| Astrobiology Web - Your Daily ...
		Halite was grown under controlled conditions in the presence of polymer nanoparticles that acted as an analog to protocellular material.
		The experiments with halite also demonstrated that a mineral need not continuously incorporate organic molecules during its crystallization to preserve those molecules: After rejection by (non-incorporation into) the crystallizing halite, the organic nanoparticles increased in concentration in the evaporating brine.
		Of additional importance in origin-of-life considerations is the fact that halite in the natural environment rapidly can change its role from that of a protective repository (in the absence of water) to that of a source of organic particles (as soon as water is present) when the mineral dissolves.

	Snack on Halite
		Halite (next page) breaks into cubes (three cleavages at right angles) and tastes like table salt.
		The larger block of rock salt shows some reflections from either cleavage planes or crystal faces that suggest the cubic nature of halite crystals.
		Blocks of halite found in the wild (normally only in deserts, for halite is very soluble) tend to look partially dissolved.
