Rock salt has formed at various times in the geological past as a result of the drying up of the sea. At these times, the evaporating water left behind beds of sea-salt. Thick deposits resulted from the repeared inundations of the sea, followed by evaporation. This mineral is called halite.

Also rock salt can be extracted from ancient rock deposits, known as "Himalayan" or "pink Himalayan" rock salt. It is very high in minerals including iron oxide, which gives it its color. The true Himalayan is mined in Pakistan, but salt from other sources is similarly marketed.

There are two sources for salt. One is from a mine where they dig out the salt and then process it. The other is through beds of salt from the ocean. This is sea salt and is very good. Sea salt comes in different colors depending on where it is from. It can range from white to black and each has a different flavor. I use gray fine sea salt a great deal from France.
