Lake Assal’s Salt Pearls
Salt Pearls are formed in Lake Assal in Djibouti, Africa. Lake Assal is a crater lake; its water source- subsurface springs fed by the Red Sea (Gulf of Tadjoura). It has the highest salinity level of any body of water (34.8% salt) and has the most abundant and diverse life supporting and mineral rich waters. Lake Assal sits at the deepest point in Africa, over 500 feet below sea level. Extreme blistering hot and dry weather, high winds and pressure come together to create unique Salt Pearls which form their smooth, round shape naturally as they tumble on the water’s edge in a variety of different sizes, where the salt is then harvested with ease.
Mineral Content
This pristine salt is 98.5%-99.5% pure Sodium Chloride. A variety of trace minerals are also present in this salt from elements embodied in the waters of Red Sea. Sporadic rains wash minerals from neighboring mountains and are drawn into the lake as well.
