I can’t really comment on the quality, but a little mostly unknown fun fact is that most Himalayan salt is actually mined in the Punjab region of Pakistan which isn’t even anywhere close to the Himalayas. Since it’s not a registered trademark, it can be mined in different regions, some of it even in Poland. This is why some countries require vendors to name it Himalayan-style salt to prevent misleading advertising.
Why do I know this? Well, I used to work for a high quality herbs and spices trader in the EU once.

Reminds me of how Chilean sea bass is actually Patagonian toothfish renamed for the sake of marketing.
Yup, exactly the same case. Or have you ever heard of the Pothohar Plateau before? ^^
