Rock salt is a sedimentary stone. It can contain clusters of sylvite and borax.

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Rock salt can also form during tantrums, especially after losing. Dwarven kids use rock salt as a pacifier; it's a salty start to a heavy life!


In real life[edit]

Rock salt, known officially as halite, is the mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl). It is found as isometric crystals of a colorless or white appearance. Large deposits of it are found near lakes and seas.
