While I agree that in general all salt tastes the same, I was gifted
with some sel gris/grey sea salt a few years ago and it was different
from the table and other sea salts I usually use. Hard to explain but
softer and with more flavor than other salts. I have treasured it and
use it sparingly and will definitely replace it when it is gone even
though it is expensive.

If it is the dirt that gives it that extra special flavor that is ok by me.
