1 Only
Sulfohalite is a rare sodium sulfate mineral containing chlorine, fluorine, sulfur, and sodium, and is highly sought after by mineral collectors at Searles Lake, California. It is known for forming small, often transparent to translucent, yellow-green octahedral or dodecahedral crystals, often appearing as two pyramids stacked base-to-base.
Searles Lake, located east of Trona in San Bernardino County, California, is the type locality for sulfohalite, where it was first described by Hidden and MacKintosh in 1888. It is found within the evaporite sediments of the Searles Lake basin. While sometimes found in abundance, it can be rare and hard to find in other years, making it a prized specimen during collection events. Usually colorless, gray, or greenish-yellow, often with a greenish-brown tint. Typically occurs as yellow-greenish octahedral crystals. Crystals are generally small (thumbnail or micro size).
