Rock Salt

The Rock Salt found in Pakistan is arguably amongst the best that can be found in the world. The purity levels of these rock salts can go up to 99% with minimum impurities. There are four different types of rock salts, in term of crystals, namely; pink solid crystals, white solid crystals, soft lumps and soft crystalline lumps.

Rock Salt are available in different size of granules and also in powder form
