Himalayan salt lamps are mined from the Earth’s purest salt located deep within the Himalayan Mountains. The Himalayan Mountains are located in Pakistan and unlike 95% of the Earth’s salt; this salt has been kept untouched by pollution. This salt range extends greater than 7,000 miles and is considered to be one of the most famous salt ranges in the world, primarily due to the size and pollution-free purity being so much greater than nearly all other salt on Earth. Naturally, the salt found in the Himalayan Mountains that is used to make Himalayan salt lamps contains a distinct color ranging from yellow, apricot, orange and red.

Himalayan salt lamps are made from ancient salt crystals that are millions of years old and are professionally hand-sculpted by skilled artisans into a wide variety of unique shapes and sizes to suit everyone’s preference. The size, shape, color and healing benefits of Himalayan salt lamps never diminish when properly cared for.read more...

Legend has it that the salt used to make Himalayan salt lamps was discovered by the horses of Alexander the Great’s soldiers around the year 300 AD. It is said that the soldiers stopped at the Himalayan Mountains for a rest and while they were there, the soldiers noticed their horses licking the rocks. It was then discovered that these rocks were in fact salt. While the discovery of this salt was a couple thousand years ago, it was only until the late 1900s when the discovery and production of Himalayan salt lamps occurred.

When a scientist began to research the Himalayan salt, he discovered that it was an excellent transparent for light to shine through and when heated, released healthy negative ions. With this in mind, the scientist came out with the idea of sculpting and producing Himalayan salt lamps. These Himalayan salt lamps were seen as a beautiful source of light that when heated from the light bulb, produced and released negative ions into the air. The beautiful, eye-catching glow, along with the health benefits they possess made them popular amongst people concerned about living a healthy and holistic lifestyle.

During the early production stages of Himalayan salt lamps, the only salt lamp design available for consumers was a chiseled, natural-looking crystal. A few years into production, they began hiring skilled craftsmen to articulately shape the Himalayan salt lamps into a wide variety of unique shapes and sizes. Today, there are hundreds of unique designs, suitable for a wide variety of locations and atmospheres. Due to the natural attributes of Himalayan salt lamps, every lamp is unique in shape, size and color. There will never be Himalayan salt lamps that are 100% identical!
