halides
halides A group of minerals which contain halogens, principally chlorine and fluorine. The group includes halite (NaCl), sylvite (KCl), and fluorite (CaF2). Halides are characterized by ionic bonding and are mainly cubic in form, soft, and generally light in weight. They frequently occur as precipitates resulting from the evaporation of saline waters.
