From an ancient salt seam
The Khewra deposit formed roughly 250 million years ago. Pressure turned an inland sea into dense bands of halite that can now be cut as single blocks.

A cross section through time
Scroll through the simplified section. Each band represents changes in mineral content and compression across the deposit. The color is natural, not added.
Surface todayFormed about 250 million years ago
Selected as a block
Open fractures are rejected before a cooking plate is cut. The remaining block is sized and checked, while its natural banding stays visible.
Left uncoated
The cooking surface has no dye, sealant, or finish. That lets the stone transfer heat and a controlled trace of salt by direct contact.
