Himalayan-Syle Salt Diamonds from Pakistan

Where do the salt diamonds come from?

The crystal salt comes from the Khewra salt mines of Pakistan located in the province of Punjab, 200 km southwest of the Himalaya. They were discovered in the time of Alexander the Great 350 years BC.

The salt diamonds are fossils and formed over thousands of years in the rock of the underground caves. As the water level dropped over the years, the caves dried up, leaving bizarre salt formations.

These mines are the largest and oldest existing salt mines in the world, and the salt rock is over 200 million years old.

Has the rock salt been refined?

The Rock Salt from Pakistan is a pure natural product and is unrefined.

The salt rock occurs in different colors: red, pink, and white. Whereas the location in the mountain determines the color of the salt, but the structure remains unchanged.
