is pink rock salt the same as sea salt
Himalayan salt Although its salt is sometimes marketed as "Jurassic Sea Salt", this salt deposit comes from a seabed of the Permian and Cretaceous eras 100 to 200 million years ago.[5] This sea became landlocked and evaporated, leaving a dense salt deposit, colored by a common pink microorganism that had lived in it. Salt was probably mined there from that time, but the first records of mining are from the Janjua people in the 1200s.[6]
