As best I can tell they are both 97% sodium chloride and
whether there is any tangible difference may depend on where
you are. For example, my local table salt is from
evaporative seabeds anyway; the only difference is in size
of the grains and packaging. Yours may be from mines. The
significant chemical differences would be in that final 3%,
if any, and considering the quantity of salt you would
normally use in your diet that should be just about
meaningless.

Before I started using potassium salt (sparingly) for
cramps, I had changed my menu to not use any added salt at
all in my cooking or at the table.

That's a long-winded way of saying I don't think "sea-salt"
is likely to be any healthier, or less unhealthy, than table
salt.
