nahcolite
Baking soda mineral
Nahcolite is a naturally occurring mineral form of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).
It forms in sedimentary deposits, particularly in evaporated lake beds, and is mined commercially as a source of baking soda for industrial and household use.
The name derives from its chemical formula: NaHCO₃.
