Himalayan salt is mined from Himalayan Mountains. Each piece is chose for its translucent pink color and faceted beauty. The salt comes from a 250 million year old dried up sea bed, from the time when the earth was covered with water, and it was in the ancient ocean where it is believed that Salt comes to you today in the form of a light bulb which, when lit, gives off what might be called a primordial glow, one part sunset, one part molten lava, creating a light source that has captivated all who see it. People say they love to sit beside our salt lamps because they feel soothing, calming and relaxing at that time life began.
