Not used to be... rock salt IS sea salt.... all mined salt is sea
salt, just that the liquid portion of that sea said bye bye. Th
eportion mined for rock salt is from around the edges and contains lot
of debris, like stones. Mined salt to become table salt is turned
back into a sea by disolving it by pumping water down into the mine,
then the slurry is brought up and purified. Some table salt is made
directly from the oceans, purified via solar evaporation.

Um, all salt is sea salt... but salt sold as "Sea Salt" is raw/
harvested sea salt, it has not been purified, except that they try to
pull out all the floatsom/jetsom; turds, tampons, and condoms.
