Pink Halite CrystalThis captivating beauty is a truly magnificent crystal! It is a type of common salt, composed of Sodium Chlorite and water. The pinkish colour is from incorporation of pigments (carotenoids) in halophilic archaea and algae that lived in the water. Pink Halite is found in dried out salt lakes and ancient oceans, our favourite deposit is the Searles Lake in California, USA, an endorheic dry lake. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek word for salt - ἅλς (háls).

The Spiritual Vibes

Spiritually Pink Halite is an incredible crystal for cleansing and cleansing rituals! Be aware to keep Pink Halite itself dry, otherwise it might fall apart and dissolve in front of your eyes. We also love using Pink Halite for cleansing other crystals, combine it with Sage or Palo Santo to cleanse your environment or your aura. Pink Halite creates a beautiful, cosy and warm feeling of self-love when you feel a bit insecure. Our favourite affirmation to use with Pink Halite is “I am unique and beautiful.” You can also use Pink Halite for calm sleep as well as energy.

Pink Halite's Favourite Pairing Crystals Pink Halite Crystal

Whilst Pink Halite cleanses unwanted vibes, it also recharges, especially when you combine Pink Halite with energy crystals such as Yellow Calcite or Yellow Aventurine. For strengthening its cleaning power combine with Selenite, while Rose Quartz and Green Onyx are great for boosting self-love. Lastly, if you don’t mind your Pink Halite dissolving, you can use these crystals in a gorgeous powerful cleansing bath!
