Himalayan Salt Shop Review
I had heard that Himalayan Salt Lamps were beautiful but I did not imagine it would be absolutely beautiful. When I received my lamp I was surprised at how heavy it was. I knew it would be heavy but it was definitely heavier than I expected. It was also more beautiful than I expected.
The salt rock itself comes on top off a little wooden stand. The little stand has these small indentations so that the cable goes through them so the lamp stands steady. I also like that the lamp comes with a light bulb included. This lamp is ready to light right from the box which is something that I really like.
It sets off a beautiful warm glow when lit. I have gotten so many compliments on everyone who sees it, and I am so in love with this lamp. I placed it in my bedroom but I love showing it off to all my friends. I recommend you place it in a room that you will feel comfortable having people in because you will want to show it off.
Other than the fact that it’s beautiful I love that it is useful in the home. Himalayan salt lamps are not only natural works of art that will beautify your home and be sure to create conversation, they are also natural air purifiers. When this 200-million-year-old crystalized salt mined from the Himalayan Mountains is heated by the bulb inside, it realeses negative ions. Negative ions are known to neutralize pollutants in the air, a process which improves indoor air quality. In short these beautiful lamps will emit a warm, pleasant glow while helping you breathe easier. They have been known to help people with allergies, asthma and a host of other diseases.

Himalayan Salt Lamps (from the website)
Himalayan Salt Lamps have become very popular over the years here in the United States. They have been popular for centuries, however, in Asia and Europe.
Since ancient times, people have known of the cleansing properties of salt. Salt was also used for preserving food. It was so valued that soldiers in Rome were paid in salt, hence the word “salary”. The Himalayan Mountains in Asia have vast salt reserves. Specifically, the Khewra Mine in Pakistan is known to possess one of the largest reserves of Himalayan salt and the salt here is of the utmost quality. It is at this top quality site where our superior Himalayan Salt Lamps are mined.
First, the salt is removed in large slabs by mining equipment and then transported out of the mine by large trucks. The slabs of Himalayan salt are then taken to a manufacturing facility where local artisans handcraft and, depending on the desired shape, use lathes to mold the salt into its various forms. No child labor is used in the process. After the shapes are made, a hole is drilled into the center of the crystal and a rosewood base is screwed into the bottom of the piece to officially make it a Himalayan salt lamp. These Himalayan Salt Lamps are then boxed and loaded into shipping containers for transport to the United States.
