Trace minerals in these salts seem to have an impact on the flavor, and the different colors certainly make them conversation pieces, but most of them require a salt mill to be used, as they are thick and chunky. In many cases, a salt mill will use ceramic grinders, which will stay sharp through the life of the salt mill. Other companies manufacture salt mills with corrosion resistant metals, meaning that they have been treated with chemicals. The cylinder of the salt mill which holds the salt until ready for grinding can be made from wood, glass, plastic, or specially treated metals, depending on the end aesthetic desired.
