Wouldn't a scratch test have worked just as well? Quartz is extremely hard, halite is relatively soft. Scratch one against the other, and whichever one is damaged is salt.

Rub it against your phone screen and you'll find out pretty quick

It scratches at a level salt, with deeper grooves at a level quarts

At a 2.5 hardness, hallite shouldn't be scratching anything with a hardness of ~6?

reference to jerryrig and his catch phrase "It scratches at a level six, with deeper grooves at level seven" when testing the 'new and improved' glass on phones

Sneeze on your phone screen and then pay as much as the phone cost for screen repairs.

It's such a fucking racket.
