Answer:

Halita is no more valuable than gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Halite is a sedimentary rock salt of formula NaCl. In short, halite is a salt and is neither more precious nor more valuable than gold.

As a matter of curiosity, we can say that halite is a slightly rosy white crystal, transparent, glassy, hardness 2, density 2.1 - 2.2. One of its particular properties is its salty taste. The presence of impurities can give it a reddish, brownish or even bluish or greenish tinge in case of radioactivity.
