ISO... source for really fancy salt
earlier salt discussions aside...
does anyone have a website or purveyor that they order fancy sea salts from? I am looking for a few sacks or assortment for a friend of mine. she loves salt, especially fleur de sel.
for a special occassion gift, I am thinking of getting her some really nice salt. willing to spend some bucks, for something interesting.
thanks in advance.

This company sells a really nice, unprocessed salt - has a fresh, flavorful quality that is milder and richer than regular sea salt:

I've used SaltWorks personally and professionally for the past year. They are a direct importer and supply several high-end companies with specialty salts that are then repackaged with "gourmet" or private labels. They also sell popular salts like Malden and Baleine.
They also sell a very nice Salt Sampler in a Bamboo display case that is very nice. Here is a link:

There are 86 items listed under "Salt" on the Kalustyan's mail order site. I just stopped by the physical store recently and bought a jar of Grey Sea Salt that I swear is so much more delicious than regular Kosher salt. I was a sceptic, and now I'm converted.

The Costco setup looks really nice, but just in case you're looking for something else, Penzey's sells a few salts, too.

You could spend a whole lot at www.napastyle.com. They have several types that can be ordered singly or in sets and gift baskets.
