Thursday salt
Thursday salt is a dark salt produced in the Kostroma region, Russia. It is associated with Russian Orthodox Easter traditions, and was historically produced at the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius monastery on Maundy Thursday.

The salt is created by mixing rock salt with flavourings such as kvass, herbs, or rye, and baking the mixture at a very high temperature for several hours. The process reduces the sodium chloride content and increases the content of other minerals such as calcium and potassium.

Halite
Halite (/ˈhælaɪt, ˈheɪlaɪt/ HAL-yte, HAY-lyte), commonly known as rock salt, is a type of salt, the mineral (natural) form of sodium chloride (NaCl). Halite forms isometric crystals.

It commonly occurs with  other evaporite deposit minerals such as several of the sulfates, halides, and borates. The name halite is derived from the Ancient Greek word for "salt", ἅλς (háls).
