Three hundred million years ago, a vast primordial ocean covered the area that would become the Himalayan mountain range. The salt of that unpolluted ocean was preserved as large crystal formations, which now yield the purest salt on earth. Crystal Rock Salt Lamps are made from crystal salt mined at the foot of the Himalayas.
These salt layers are high in minerals and trace elements, providing the highest quality of natural salt. When the rock salt crystal heats up, it emits negative ions. These ions cleanse the air by removing dust, pollen, dander, and cigarette smoke. They also offset the harmful radiation produced by computer monitors, TVs, and other electrical devices.
The production of the lamps uses no chemicals (it's handwork, mostly). Unlike other decorative (or household) products that are made of brass, steel, or even worse, aluminum, they do not deplete natural resources, do not use a lot of energy, do not pollute, etc. The salt reserves in the Himalayas are incredibly large; at the current extraction rate it would take thousands of years to even make a dent in them.
We carry the following Himalayan Salt Crystal products:
