Macro Mondays: #Condiments
◾I appreciate your visit and comment, especially for taking the time to read. I really appreciate it.◾
Pink Himalayan salt on a small spoon probably intended for such things. I used a blue plate for this flat lay.
The two swans are heirlooms, which are normally used for special occasions and normally filled with salt and grounded pepper.
For Christmas we were gifted a lamp that is a block of Himalayan salt. It has a carved out area for the bulb, producing a lovely, glowing evening light.
For this shot, I placed the block of salt in the direct sunshine coming through the window, resulting in nicely backlit color and texture.

Himalayan salt, often called pink salt, is a type of rock salt mined from the Salt Range mountains in Pakistan, particularly near the Khewra Salt Mine. It's famous for its distinctive pink color, which comes from trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
Here are a few quick facts:
Uses: Commonly used in cooking, as bath salts, or in salt lamps for decorative and claimed therapeutic purposes.
Health claims: Some believe it has detoxifying or respiratory benefits, but scientific evidence is limited.
Flavor: Slightly milder than regular table salt, with a unique mineral
Granules are small particles or grains that typically range in size from very fine to coarse. They can occur naturally or be manufactured and are often used to describe materials that are solid, dry, and granular in texture.
Granules In Different Contexts:
Biology / Cell Biology:
Granules are small structures within cells, often involved in storage or secretion of substances.
Examples: Secretory granules in glands, granules in platelets (important for blood clotting), or cytoplasmic granules.
Pharmaceuticals:
Granules refer to a dosage form made of aggregated powdered ingredients.
They improve flowability, compressibility, and can be used for sustained release medications.
Food Industry:
Granules can refer to coarse grains of salt, sugar, coffee (like instant coffee), or seasoning mixes.
They often dissolve easily in water and are used for quick preparation.
Geology:
Refers to a specific particle size category of sediment, typically between sand and pebbles (~2–4 mm).
Found in riverbeds, beaches, and sedimentary rocks.
Astronomy:
Granules on the Sun are convection cells visible on its surface (photosphere).
They appear as bright areas with darker edges, caused by the movement of hot plasma.

Sony FE 90mm Macro - f/7.1
I just realized that I take shots of a lot of round things. Maybe that's because this new lens has a very shallow depth-of-field, and any area on the same plane of focus will also be in focus.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayan_salt
Himalayan salt is a marketing term for Halite (commonly known as rock salt) from Pakistan, which began being sold by various companies in Europe, North America, and Australia in the early 21st century. It is mined in the Khewra Salt Mines, the second largest salt mine in the world, located in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan, about 300 km from the Himalayas, about 160 kilometres from Islamabad, and 260 kilometres from Lahore, and in the foothills of the Salt Range.
The salt sometimes comes out in a reddish or pink color, with some crystals having an off-white to transparent color. It is commonly used for cooking similar to regular table salt, brine, and bath products.
Similar salts
Rock salts mined in several parts of the world, including Hawaii, Utah, Bolivia, the Murray-Darling basin of Australia, Peru, and Poland are marketed as Himalayan salt or pink salt. The color results from iron oxide.
Salt Lamps
More recently, large crystal rocks are also used as Salt lamps. A salt lamp is a lamp carved from a larger salt crystal, often colored, with an incandescent bulb or a candle inside. The lamps give an attractive glow and are suitable for use as nightlights or for ambient mood lighting. The largest producers of this product are located near to the source in Pakistan, with Poland and Iran also offering variations.
Mineral composition
In 2003 the Bavarian consumer protection agency Bayerisches Landesamt für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit analyzed 15 specimens of Himalaya salt sold in Germany and could detect a total of 10 different minerals: sodium and chloride (98%) and other minerals. This agency states that these salts come from Pakistan and can, like all salts, cause hypertension (high blood pressure).[1] German public television broadcaster ZDF presented the analyzed chemical composition of Himalaya-salt which states that the specimen contained 95-96% sodium chloride that was contaminated with 2-3% polyhalite (gypsum) and small amounts of 10 other different minerals.

JJ read there was a stall at the kite festival that sold Himalayan salt, and having read somewhere that it was a cure for migraines, I was keen to get down there to see if I could get some. Luckily there were a few jars on the stall, so I bought one for £3. The guy recommended sprinkling in the bath from time to time, but I am keen to try and follow this info that I found on the internet:

Himalayan crystal salt are mined by hand from deep within the Himalayan Mountains, They were probably formed thousands of years ago in the Old Testament times and remained untouched until now. They are pure salt and has almost zero environmental pollutants. With chemical dumping and toxic oil spills polluting the oceans at an alarming rate, most of today's sea salt is not nearly as pure as it used to be.
After being brought from beneath the mountains, the diamond-like crystals are hand-selected, hand-crushed, hand-washed, and sun dried. And analysis of this slightly pink pure salt reveals 84 minerals and trace elements essential to health. Himalayan Salt contains Electrolytes such as sodium, calcium and potassium to help restore the body fluids.
