My parents take coliodal minerals and it's been very good for their
health. I take supplements as a belt-and-suspenders plan - I figure I
get enough variety in food that I should get all the nutrients I need
but I also figure that modern farming leaches out enough minerals and
breeds for production not vitamins so I never know how much
micronutrients I am missing from my foods.

Pink salt puzzles me. Usually when salt crystals form the process does
a reasonable job of purification. Salt from mines is closer to pure
sodium chloride than what is claimed for the pink salt. Some minerals
have low solubility so they come out of solution and are mostly gone
before the sodium chloride starts to come out of solution. Some
minerals have high solubility so they come out of solution after most of
the sodium chloride is gone. That makes the sodium chloride of regular
salt more pure than is claimed for the pink salt. How would such a salt
that still has the trace minerals be formed naturally?

It is formed naturally in different areas. Just like quartz colored
other than pure clear or white has other minerals in it.

Personally, I'm more interested in the variations in flavor. I purchase
"Nature's plus" trace mineral supplement tablets for the nutritional
needs.
