Fun facts

In Semnan, local folklore holds that Persian Blue Salt was formed from the tears of a lover separated from their beloved, giving the crystals a spiritual significance passed down through generations.

Miners extract the blue crystals the same way prospectors search for gold, following thin veins of blue running through ordinary rock salt, a slow and painstaking process that makes each piece genuinely rare.

These crystals formed over 260 million years ago in ancient inland seas, alongside the dinosaurs and marine giants of a lost world, making every grain a fragment of Earth's deep history.

Colour

Persian Sapphire. Most rock salt is white or pink, while Persian Blue Salt ranges from pale glacier blue to deep, saturated indigo, with its rarest crystals showing an almost violet hue.

Aroma

These crystals carry a subtle, clean mineral scent, faint and earthy, with none of the sharp brininess of ordinary sea salt.

Flavour Notes

A full mineral depth with a sharp, clean saltiness upfront, followed by a soft, lingering finish and a faint, subtle sweetness.

Weight

Approximately 150 grams of 3 pieces of small, medium, and large rocks
