BLÖDITE with HALITE, SODA LAKE, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, CA, USA (miniature)
Blödite, also known as bloedite, is a hydrated sodium magnesium sulfate mineral characterized by the formula Na2Mg(SO4)2·4H2O. This mineral typically appears clear to yellow, often exhibiting darker shades due to inclusions, and it crystallizes in a monoclinic structure.
The first description of Blödite dates back to 1821, when it was identified in a salt deposit located in Ischler Salzberg, Bad Ischl, Gmunden, Austria. It was named in honor of the German mineralogist and chemist Karl August Blöde (1773–1820).[3][4]
Blödite can be found globally in evaporitic sedimentary settings, including the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
Halite is also known as "stone salt", NaCl.
This specimen has been treated against decay ad stabilized.
