    Mining of the mineral goes back to Egyptian times, and the mineral name predates a formal description. For instance, the name appears in the medical literature, where it previously was named nitrum:
    Bellonii (1605) Nitrum: Cancer quidam exiguus miranda natura. in Observationes [in Caroli Clvsii Atrebatis Exoticorvm], Ex Officina Plantiana Raphelengii 137-138
    
    The mineral is described:
    Wallerius J G (1750) I. Mit Erdevermischtes alkalisches Salz. Species 189. Alkali orientale impurum terrestre. Natron. Nitrum veterum, in Mineralogie, oder Mineralreich, Nicolai (Berlin) 228-228
