Khewra Pink Salt™ is meticulously sourced from the majestic Salt Range mountains nestled in Pakistan, situated at the southern fringes of a dynamic fold-and-thrust belt beneath the Pothohar Plateau, a region south of the mighty Himalayas. This geological marvel is intricately linked to the Salt Range Formation, a stratigraphic unit boasting a profound layer of Ediacaran to early Cambrian evaporites.
The distinctive composition of this geological structure is characterized by the presence of crystalline halite, infusions of potash salts, and an amalgamation of gypsiferous marl. Adding to the geological tapestry are layers of gypsum and dolomite, creating a captivating mosaic of mineral diversity. Notably, within this ancient canvas, occasional seams of oil shale, a testament to a bygone era, came into existence between 600 and 540 million years ago.
As the eons unfolded, the intricate rock formations underwent a transformative journey. Thrust southward over the course of geological epochs, these stratigraphic wonders, including later sedimentary rocks, bore witness to the relentless forces of nature. Erosion became the sculptor of time, gradually shaping and carving the landscape, ultimately giving birth to the awe-inspiring Salt Range. It is within this geological saga that Khewra Pink Salt™ finds its origins, a testament to the rich history and natural wonders concealed within the heart of the Salt Range mountains.
