The rock that is salty is called halite, which is commonly known as rock salt. It is a mineral composed of sodium chloride (\(NaCl\)) and is the mineral form of table salt.

Making salt from rock salt (halite) involves mining the rock, crushing it, and refining it to remove impurities. Industrially, this is done via blast mining or solution mining, where water dissolves the salt underground, which is then evaporated to create edible salt. At home, you can crush solid salt blocks or use evaporation methods to create smaller, refined salt crystals. 

Methods for Turning Rock Salt into Refined Salt:

Crushing and Grinding (For Himalayan/Rock Salt Blocks):

Obtain raw rock salt: Purchase solid rock salt chunks (e.g., Himalayan salt blocks).

Break it down: Use a hammer or mortar and pestle to break large rocks into smaller, manageable chunks.

Grind into powder: Use a heavy-duty blender, food processor, or chutney grinder to grind the smaller pieces into a fine, powdery salt.

Sift (Optional): Sift the ground salt to remove any lingering large pieces or impurities.

Dissolving and Evaporation (Purification):

Dissolve: Dissolve the impure rock salt in hot water.

Filter: Filter the brine solution to remove insoluble dirt, minerals, and impurities.

Evaporate: Heat the filtered solution or leave it to evaporate, allowing pure salt crystals to form.

Harvest: Collect the resulting white salt crystals. 

Key Considerations:

Impurities: Raw rock salt often contains minerals, clay, and other impurities that may need to be filtered out.

Safety: When mining, large pillars of salt are left for safety to support the roof.

Particle Size: The final texture depends on the grinding method, ranging from coarse, edible, to fine.
