If you are referring to the white salt you can get at diners and fast food facilities, no this type salt has been processed and has actually very very little health value. To the point some manufacturers add iodine. The grey salt on the other hand retains a lot of it's minerals and the taste is a whole better. I will say this too just like anything else we use. Use lightly as it is salt and you will not use the same amount as in the white crystal brand.

Here is a link that has alot of technical data: https://www.google.com/search?q=salt+comparison+values&rlz;=1C1GGGE_enUS432US448&es;pv=2&biw;=1719&bih;=831&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&sour;ce=univ&sa;=X&ei;=njo2VZq5L-jdsATIhYD4Dg&ve;d=0CCMQsAQ Not sure if this is too much info but way down the chart compares celtic salt with himalayan and table salt. Happy hunting!

I'm not sure , but this is a great mineral . I can already tell a difference . I couldn't tell a difference in the way I feel on other minerals.

Yes, it's customizable as to how light or dark you want the end result to be. Also, if you layer the minerals while they are still wet, you will end up with gray areas where the white and black mix together (but dab the sponge, don't smear!).

The mix can contain copper and other minerals, all are listed in the package. I don't have the paperwork anymore, or I would list all the minerals. I don't believe salt is one of them.

They look almost exactly the same except the salt grinder has a white o-ring on the bottom -- the pepper is black ---which is saying one is for salt only ---the grinding mechanisms are exactly the same--and they are adjustable w/5 settings --- they are efficient and good for everyday use ----replace with peppercorns and fairly course salt JEV

No they're not the same or even much similar. Gypsum is rarely used in food products. It is used to make drywall and plaster of Paris mostly. The substance you are referring to, gluconolactone, is a common food additive used to impart a tangy, acidic flavor to a number of food products and as an acidifier used in pickling and curing. I'm not much familiar with the use of gypsum in food products. I have often added it to garden soil to break up heavy clay. Perhaps you're thinking of calcium carbonate, which is used in a lot of food products for its chalky texture, to impart a desired consistency, as a whitener especially in dairy products like milk, cheese, and butter, and to make such products "calcium fortified". Calcium carbonate is an essential nutrient, while calcium sulfate has more limited uses in food products, which includes ingredient in the preparation of tofu as a coagulant (which gives Oriental people a source of calcium without milk which they hate), and in home brewing.

Yes, you would just use less of the white colored mineral. There are 3 different colored mineral paints, you can use more or less of one of the colors. I was going for a grey color as well and was happy with the results.

I have only ever used sea salt for this so cannot speak to the differences that may come from different salts but I can say that the colors vary for me using the same salt and same water every time. I recently did an Ayurvedic cleanse and my water looked different than it ever had before with detoxing from the liver and lymphatic system. If you are concerned about this you might try to find salt with minimal potential contaminants.

Unlike white table salt that has iodine added to it, Himalayan salt has iodine in it naturally along with many other minerals. See this article for more information: http://www.naturalnews.com/028724_Himalayan_salt_sea.html

I believe so. I received a set; one for salt and one for pepper. I didn't notice a difference between the two.

Yes it is ... however be careful of which type you buy, there are a couple options such as coarse (which needs to be ground up into usable crystals) or finely ground. They're both the same product but one has already been ground and ready to use, the other one hasn't (some folks prefer grinding their own cuz they like to choose how coarse/fine they want the crystals).

It does look to be, I've got a salt lamp also, and they both look the same color and consistency, etc. It might be easier to just buy a salt lamp however, as the salt pieces that come in the package are small to really small, and it will take quite a few pieces to mound up to make a lamp. Plus the salt might rest right on the bulb and I don't know how that would affect the salt...

They are both sea salts, I use the flakes. I use the little bamboo salt box and just get a pinch out as needed.

The gray stone will ozone water,air,and oil. While the white stones are only for water and air.

I would say they are comparable to table salt, they worked great from my bath fizzies!

Not that I know of. The salt is in pretty big "chunks," so you do need a grinder of some kind. I take the salt out and put it in my "pretty" grinder. I did see the same salt crystals at Whole Foods in bulk... so that might be an option for you.
