Interesting! A bit of research has shown the salt caverns, or 'domes' used to store natural gas are not the result of salt mining, but are naturally-occurring.
Talk about off-topic! I blame it on Spendur!

Yes, salt is an interesting topic.
At one time it was used as currency and highly prized. Much salt is mined by flooding and pumping up the brine and letting the water evaporate. In San Diego at the end of the bay they flood fields with seawater and let it evaporate then package it to use with water softeners. In some places it's mined as "rock salt". In Southern New Mexico a salt mine is used to store nuclear waste. In some places trace minerals can make salt just about every color of the rainbow. The photo below is a specimen from Germany with trace Aluminum.
