mineral pool

Natural hot spring

A mineral pool is a body of water naturally enriched with dissolved minerals—sulfur, magnesium, calcium, or silica—often heated geothermally.

People have long sought out mineral pools for bathing, believing the waters have therapeutic properties: We soaked in the mineral pool at the hot springs resort.

The term also applies to artificial pools filled with mineral-rich water.
