        @neiltyson @deborahblum One could also say that all sea salt was originally eroded from various rocks.

        @alpayerturkmen @neiltyson It sure is. It actually contains more NaCl than sea salt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayan_salt#Mineral_composition … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_salt#Composition …
