Answer:

K-sylvite

Na-rock salt

Step-by-step explanation:

Sylvite is a colourless or white mineral consisting of potassium chloride, occurring typically as cubic crystals(Oxford dictionary). It is the primary ore of potassium metal. It appears colorless, sometimes with a shade of red.

Rock salt is a primary ore of sodium. It is found in rocks, seas etc. Rock salt is sometimes commonly called halite. It usually appears white in colour and is rich in sodium.
