	Rock Salt Mining
		Salt deposits formed as horizontal salt beds in ancient oceans and were later buried deeply beneath sediments as mountains eroded.
		The primary use for rock salt excavated from North American salt mines is roadway deicing to preserve safe and passable highways during the winter, though, often, the public is unaware of the activity.
		After crushing, the salt is transported by conveyor belts to salt "pockets" at the shaft bottom for loading and hoisting to the surface.

	Halite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Halite is the mineral of sodium chloride, NaCl, commonly known as rock salt.
		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 overlying rock.
		Salt domes contain anhydrite, gypsum, and native sulfur, in addition to halite and sylvite.

	Rock salt Lamps & Tea-Light Holders
		Geologically, natural rock salt formed around 260 million years ago at a time when seas and salt-water lagoons evapourated, leaving the salt content of the water behind in extensive "salt flats" (some of which were 1500 or more metres deep).
		Because of this process of formation, rock salt is classified as an "evaporite", together with other similarly formed minerals such as rock gypsum and phosphate rocks.
		Due to the chemical/mineral structure of rock salt, these lamps and tea-light holders should not be used or stored in areas of high humidity, or allowed to get wet.

	How does the rock salt work?
		Rock salt forces the ice surrounding the can of ice cream mix to melt.
		If there were no salt added to the ice, it would melt at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and eventually the ice water and mix would come to equilibrium at 32 degrees.
		If the ice were not combined with salt, the mix’s cooling would be slow and would stop when the mix reached the temperature of melting freshwater ice-- at 32 degrees.
