Types of Salt by origin or source
According to the place of origin of the salt or the state found (as solid mineral deposit or dissolved in seawater) and the way crystallization takes place (harvesting by thermal evaporation of sea salt, mining for the rock salt or thermo compression for vacuum salt) the salt can be classified into different types as follows:
-
Sea Salts
Sea Salts are those originating from seawater using the sun and wind to crystallize into Sea Salt.

Vacuum Salts / Chemicals
They belong to the group of the vacuum salts or chemical salts obtained by a chemical process of thermo compression (vacuum).

Are all those crystallized salts inside a mountain that came from brine from sea water source or a deposit of a salty spring and through the years have solidified and are currently exploited as salt mines.
