I haven't examined Himalayan. However, Redmond (Utah) "Real Salt" is full of rust and sand. Someone gave me a bag because it was grinding down what was left of his teeth. I dissolved, decanted, and dried it. Labeled it Whitemond salt.

That's depressing. I looked into this a while back and thought it was the best salt on the market.

I still think it's the best salt. If it had sand in it I would think I would have noticed by now. Crunch, crunch.

Can you provide more details on Redmond? Would love to find out more details.

Pretty much already posted what I know about it. They mine it near Redmond, Utah; sand, rust, and all. Somewhat sticky, so must have some other minerals such as calcium and magnesium. I took the supernatant to dryness; no attempt to recrystallize pure sodium chloride.

Thank you. I may contact Redmont to inquire further.
