Rock Salt
One finds rock salt deposits ringing dry lake beds inland marginal seas and enclosed bays and estuaries in arid regions of the world. At various times in the geologic past very large bodies of water such as the Mediterranean Sea and an old ocean that sat where the Atlantic Ocean sits now also evaporated and made enormous deposits of rock salt.

At this point the salt is about 99.4 pure and can be used for many industrial purposes. If purer salt is needed it is rewashed in salt water and fresh water allowed to drain for one or two days then dried in a hot air oven at about 365 F 185 C . This salt is about 99.8 pure and can be used for food processing.
