It is meant to! Genuine, pure Himalayan Crystal Salt is found in veins that may vary in colour from “pure white” to “white with a pinkish hue” to peach. On rare occasions it may even contain red or black specks. This is perfectly natural and simply reflects the mineral and trace element content. Nirvana Organics® select salt for your table that tends to be “pure white” or “white with a pinkish hue” and it is always of the highest quality
