[edit] Ammo

I was looking for how rock salt is used in shotgun, but the article doesn't mention it.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 17:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bilma salt is evaporated, not mined

Those are evaporation ponds. See Paul E. Lovejoy, Salt of the Desert Sun (1986). I'm going to go ahead and remove that image as that is a Natron pit. T L Miles (talk) 05:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rock Salt : Halite

      The article is very useful in the sense of its occurrence, and some how its uses. 
However, the rock salt is usually used in medicines also in India and some parts of South Asia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.242.13.218 (talk) 10:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC) 

[edit] Uses

There is a section about uses of rock salt, but it only talks about its freezing/defreezing uses, but it doesn't mention its cooking uses. I don't know about the American cuisine, but rock salt is very popular in Brazil, specially for seasoning barbecue, and I really think it should be mentioned in the article. What do you guys think?
