Colored rock salt types, especially pink, orange and red ones, become a more demand material for production of fancy salt goods such as salt lamps, chandelier, sculptures etc. Colored rock salts occur in many salt formations and deposits in Europe and in the world as it was illustrated by a short review of selected rock salt deposits. In Poland the discussed colored rock salts are exploited only in one salt deposit, located in the Kłodawa salt diaper (by the »Kłodawa« Salt Mine), mainly for alimentary and chemical industry and for road treatment. Last years the mine has excavated a small amount of pink salt for production of mentioned above salt fancy goods and the increased demand for this raw material initiated studies on characteristics and geological position of pink salt within the salt deposit, enabling future prediction and calculation of its resources. Preliminary characteristics of features and the geological situation as well as a classification and exploitation methods of pink rock salt were presented in the paper.
