Sylvite, also called sylvine, is a major source of potassium or potash used in fertilizer products.
However, sylvite is very soluble in water and specimens need to be stored in closed containers because even the moisture in the air can degrade its appearance.
Sylvite is closely related to the more common halite, NaCl, and they share so many properties that identification is sometimes difficult.

 Olympus MIC-D: Polarized Light Gallery - Potassium Chloride (KCl)
To a chemist, potassium chloride is also known as monopotassium chloride, potassium muriate, or potassium monochloride, and features the very simple molecule consisting of a single potassium and chlorine atom that readily dissociate in water into ions.
Potassium chloride forms colorless chunks and to geologists, forms the mineral sylvite (or sylvine), a major source of potash for fertilizers and the chemical industry.
Crystals of sylvite are transparent to translucent, but may be tinted red, blue, or yellow, and melt at 776 degrees Celsius, sublime at 1,500 degrees Celsius, and feature a molecular weight of 74.55.

The bromine content of halite and sylvite in the Salado Formation was investigated in drill cores and underground workings of the International Minerals and Chemical Corporation mine in the Carlsbad potash district, southeast NM.
The bromine contents of halite and sylvite in the first ore zone, the principal potash bed in the district, suggest that the initial precipitation of a halite-sylvite assemblage was succeeded by the precipitation of halite-carnallite.
Carnallite replaced some of the sylvite but was subsequently converted to sylvite during early diagenesis.

The drilling exploration by DMR at Ban Nong Khon Kwang has hit the thickest sylvite layer in the region while the sylvite at Ban Nong Philom connecting to Ban Non Takai has had high-grade sylvite.
The sylvite layer has found extensively almost everywhere and connected Ban Nong Khon Kwang and Ban Nong Philom together with peripheral area such as Ban Non Somboon etc. The reserve of sylvite in this area is notless than 300 million tons.
If the technology of room and pillar underground mine is used, the possibility of sylvite mined would be 150 million tons and if the production of sylvite ts 3 million tons annually, the mine life would be 50 years.
