Searles Lake Pink Halite Cluster I

Pink halite is one of the most fascinating (and rare) crystals we carry! It is a formation of sodium chlorite that formed when salt-rich ancient lakes began to dissolve, leaving behind their salt minerals. It gets its beautiful pink color from microscopic organisms called halobacteria as well as mineral impurities left behind from the water.
Pink Halite is perhaps best known to be mined in California. These crystals come from Searles Lake, an endorheic dry lake in the Searles Valley region of the Mohave Desert in northwestern San Bernardino County.

As a form of salt, Pink Halite is known to be a stone of purification. Its delicate pink color attunes it to the heart chakra, making it a beautiful, soothing crystal to meditate with. It creates a safe space in times of emotional strain or mourning and is also wonderful for those who are wrestling with self-love.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
