This is Kala Namak, or Himalayan black salt. It is an unrefined, volcanic rock salt (Halite) with a sulfur-like aroma, similar to the smell of hard-boiled eggs. This salt owes its unique taste – a hint of bitterness – to the presence of Sulphur.
We were given a small vial of it (the labeled bottle in the background) by a friend who vacationed in Spain (thus the Spanish spelling of the word Salt… Sal).

OK, apologies for not deciding but went back to the drawing board. Wanted to use natural light originally but could not resist lighting these grains of salt a bit more dramatically! At this scale I ended up arranging actual grains of salt and picking the more interesting ones!
Shot on the edge of a lens cap that I must remember to clean before refitting! Guessing this is around 6mm-8mm in actual size, the smaller grains are grinds from the grinder.
