Mineral information on sylvite
Sylvite is one of the best
sources for potash. Sylvite is very similar in its properties to
halite (table salt). It can be distinguished from halite by its more
bitter taste. Sylvite can
be combined with halite to produce "light salt" for those who need to cut down
on
sodium in their diets.
