    Specific gravity = Density of an object/Density of water

    Density = Mass/Volume

    For the current scenario;

    Density of halite = mass / (l*w*h) = 58.75 / (3.18*3.06*2.79) = 58.75/27.148932 = 2.164 g/cm^3

    Density of water ≈ 1000 kg/m^3 = 1 g/cm^3

    Therefore,

    Specific density of halite = 2.164 g/cm^3 / 1 g/cm^3 = 2.164
