Alpine Crystal Salt®
salt of life

Salt

is not

same salt

Have salt in yourselves and keep peace with one another.
Mark 9:50

Austrian natural salt of the highest quality contains all the natural trace elements and minerals that are so important for our well-being. This pristine Austrian natural salt comes from the oldest salt mining region in the world, at the foot of the Dachstein massif. It is mined using traditional methods, hand-selected, and completely natural. Alpine Crystal Salt®, naturally sourced from the magnificent mountains of Austria, contains all the essential minerals and trace elements that nature has preserved for us over millions of years.

WATERandSALT

Water and salt are the most important natural resources for all life on our planet. Natural Alpine Crystal Salt® contains all trace elements, all essential minerals, and other salts, as it was formed by the evaporation of ancient seas in which all natural elements were already present. Together with water, salt is the most essential foodstuff of all.

A Celtic myth

according to which all souls come from water

- the sea.

“There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in the sea, it is in the mountains, and it is in our tears.”

after Khalil Gibran

The original salt

When today's continents began to separate from the supercontinent Pangea, salt separated out in shallow tropical seas 250 million years ago as evaporation rock. Overlaid by ever thicker layers of sediment and the folding up of today's Alps by gigantic tectonic forces, salt was trapped deep in the mountain. The resulting enormous pressures of the mountain massifs on the stored salt caused it to slowly begin to rise in vertical cracks and sometimes form mighty salt domes, such as those found at the foot of the Dachstein massif in the Styrian Salzkammergut. These salt deposits were discovered and mined by our ancestors (corresponding finds go back beyond the Bronze Age to the Neolithic Age) 5000 years before Christ. This wonderful rock salt (our alpine crystal salt) was already traded across the whole continent as far as Asia. This ancient salt - Alpenkristallsalz® - is not only one of the oldest rock salt deposits, but also the oldest mined mountain salt on earth.

alpine crystal salt® is a protected brand and stands as a guarantor for primeval Austrian natural salt.
This alpine salt comes from the Dachstein massif and is mined deep in the mountain in traditional mining in Altaussee. The 2 to 20 kilo natural salt stones obtained in this way are then selected and crushed exclusively by hand. Only the most beautiful natural salt quality is used for our exquisite alpine crystal salt.

The Alpine Salt

Original

Altaussee salt crystal lamps

The energy of stones and their healing power have been known throughout history and in all cultures. For the Celts and Germanic tribes, salt crystals were "white gold".

The salt crystals used for the original Altaussee salt crystal lamps come from the salt mine in Altaussee - the processing of the salt crystals is carried out with particular care so that the individual crystal structure is preserved in its unique form.

All Altaussee salt crystal lamps are unique works of art and are currently only available by pre-order.

Photos will be available in the web shop shortly.
