Khewra Salt Mine
The Khewra Story
One of the oldest salt mines on Earth.
A Heritage in Mineral
Deep within the Salt Range of Punjab lies Khewra — a mine with a history spanning centuries, said to have been discovered by the armies of Alexander the Great. From these ancient deposits, Himalyte Atelier sources the pink Himalayan salt that forms the foundation of every block, brick, and tile we craft.
Each piece carries the mineral signature of millions of years — iron, potassium, and magnesium — giving the stone its signature warmth and translucency when lit from within.
