White rock salt, also known as halite, is primarily mined in Pakistan from the Salt Range, with the Khewra Salt Mine being the most famous and one of the oldest in the world. This natural mineral is rich in essential minerals and is widely used for culinary, industrial, and wellness purposes. In Pakistan, white rock salt is available in various forms including coarse crystals, fine powder, edible slabs, and decorative lamps.
Pink Salt
Pink salt, also known as Himalayan pink salt, is famously mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan’s Punjab province. It gets its distinct pink hue from trace minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. Revered for its purity and mineral content, this salt is available in several forms such as coarse crystals, fine powder, slabs, lamps, and decorative items, making it popular in culinary, wellness, and home décor applications.
Dark Red Salt
Dark red salt, a rarer variant of Himalayan rock salt, is also extracted from the salt ranges of Punjab, particularly from deeper layers of the Khewra and nearby mines. Its rich, deep red color is due to a higher concentration of iron oxide. Typically available in coarse chunks, crushed form, or ground powder, this bold-colored salt is used for gourmet cooking, decorative pieces, and therapeutic purposes.
