Rock salt has very useful benefits otherwise in enhancing beauty like teeth whitener, a natural scrub, make up remover. more  
It doesn't have iodine at all, so not good for daily consumption. Only can be used in vrats and for digestion remedies. Mixing of salt makes no sense. Foods rich in iodine are mainly from the sea like fish cod, seaweeds(rarely available in India). So iodised salt is only best to use. You can take Tata salt lite as it contains less sodium chloride content. more  
Apart from Iodine issue, Rock Salt is much better. It strengthens the body with 84 different minerals and trace elements that are essential to good health. Rock Salt possesses all essential mineral materials and trace elements, which are present also in the human body. Rock salt is 85% Sodium with the remaining 15% being made up of trace minerals and elements. Rock Salt has some natural iodine in it but it not a high source of it. Since Rock Salt tastes of sulfur, some people don like it but if some one has Sulphur tolerance they can use it easily in moderation. more  
Seafood offers a rich source of iodine, particularly if you consume it twice a week Foods that contain high levels of iodine are milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, radishes, watercress, onions, and also, most dairy products contain a high level of iodine more  
Thanks Dr Gujral . I believe an adult requires 150microgrammes of iodine . Besides salt what other fruits n veg can provide this ? Secondly does it make sense to mix a little iodised salt with rock salt ? more
