Halite is easy to identify because it tastes salty and dissolves easily in water. Broken fragments of halite may be nearly cube-shaped. In Kansas, salt is found in thick beds deep underground. Salt in these thick layers is known as rock salt. Extensive salt beds that are, on average, about 250 feet thick and between 500 and 1,000 feet deep are ...Web
