Evaporite deposits (largely bedded halite, sylvite, gypsum, anhydrite, and various potash salts) form from the precipitation of solid mineral crystals from a concentrated solution of salt- or freshwater, in other words, from brine. Evaporite deposits may be either marine or nonmarine (lacustrine) in origin.
