Common examples of halides include halite (NaCl, table salt), sylvite (KCl), fluorite (CaF 2 ).
For example, halite (NaCl), galena (PbS), and periclase (MgO) all belong to the hexaoctahedral point group (isometric family), as they have a similar stoichiometry between their different constituent elements.
The most common evaporite minerals are carbonates (calcite and others based on COmain ), chlorides ( halite and others built on Clmain ), and sulfates ( gypsum and others built on SOmain ).
