This crystal salt has arisen from the desiccation of an aurochs sea more ago than 22 million years. Origin: The Salt urchin is in the province Punjab in the north of Pakistan; this is 200-300 kilometres remote south of the Himmalaya mountains. Salt deposit is part of the southwestern foothills of the Himalayas the gigantic one, at 400-600 metres deep lying. This Salt urchin has arisen from the active over-string-pulling of sedimentary sequences in the pre-country of the Himalayas. The Salt urchin is therefore looked geologically a part of the growing Himalaja mountains system. Himalaja mountains have arisen from continental shift during the Tertiärs.
