Examples of sylvite
sylvite
Potassium chloride occurs naturally as sylvite, and it can be extracted from sylvinite.

Besides, reserves of germanium, indium, zirconium, platinum, rock salt, sylvite, nickel, phosphate, mirabilite, arsenic and blue asbestos are also high.

They can also be concentrated in soils due to human activity, for example the use of potassium as fertilizer, which can form sylvite, a naturally occurring salt.

If minute crystals are present in the inclusion, such as halite, sylvite, hematite, or sulfides are present, they provide direct clues as to the composition of the original fluid.

Potassium Chloride is an important component for the manufacture of fertilizers, and it is obtained through the underground mine of sylvite and later on improved by the flotation process.

- A mineral consisting of native potassium chloride; an important ore of potassium that is found in sedimentary beds
- Sylvite is potassium chloride (KCl) in natural mineral form. It forms crystals in the isometric system very similar to normal rock salt, halite (NaCl). (The two are, in fact, isomorphous. Sylvite is colorless to white with shades of yellow and red due to inclusions. It has a Mohs hardness of 2. ...
- A saline evaporite, consisting of potassium chloride KCl, also found in fumaroles
- A chloride mineral with the chemical formula of KCl
