These beautiful lamps are made from  natural  Rock Salt Crystal (Halite) accumulated over millions of years in salt caverns deep under ground in the Himalayan Mountains.  (Halite is called an evaporite because it is formed by the evaporation of saline water in partially enclosed basins. It is found in solid underground masses, and as a dissolved solution in oceans and inland lakes.) Halite salt crystals mined from the foothills of the Himalayas are still pure and untouched by pollution. They provide a warm glow in stunning and beautiful natural designs.

Salt Crystal Rock and lamps made from Salt Crystal Rocks are natural air ionizers.

When the core of halite is hollowed out, and a light bulb placed inside, the result is a release of negative ions into the atmosphere. (A a negative ion is an electronically charged molecule made up of oxygen. A positive ion in the air is produced by cars, factories, heavy machinery, smoke, dust, soot and other pollutants and has lost its electrons.) Negative Ions clean the air of dust, pollen (grass, weed and tree pollen), dust mites, animal dander and mold spores. Even though they are not a "medical device", Salt Crystal Lamps, by emitting negative ions, significantly reduce a myriad of indoor air pollutants. Negative ions have known benefits, and may provide relief from sinus, migraine headaches allergies and hay fever, reduce the severity of asthma attacks, enhance the immune system, increase alertness, increase work productivity and concentration, increase lung capacity and reduce susceptibility to colds and flu.

In our environment, negative ions can be found in concentrations of 10,000 per cubic centimeter on mountaintops, waterfalls, and by the sea, providing that invigorating, fresh air we enjoy. In major cities at rush hour the concentration may not even reach 100. Halite rock salt crystal lamps produce a stable emitting field of 500-900 negative ions in 1 cubic centimeter of surrounding air, increasing the negative ion count by up to 300%. Salt crystal lamps are important natural sources of negative ions. They balance and reverse the positive ions generated by heating and cooling systems, TV's, computers, radios, transmitters, cell phones, automobile exhausts, cigarette smoke and other pollutants.  

The impact of negative ions is

powerful. Originally, it was found to speed recovery in burn or asthma patients, but was later discovered to affect serotonin levels in the bloodstream, stabilize alpha rhythms and to positively impact our reactions to sensory stimuli. The greater level of alertness can translate into improved learning, improved well being and enhanced human performance on mental tasks.

Salt Crystal Lamps, when illuminated from inside with a small light, produce a beautiful, natural glow of shades from orange to yellow. This color, and the ionizing effects, create a special atmosphere of calming, balancing, and refreshing clean air. Warm Salt Crystal produces and emits a higher number of Negative Ions and delivers a more efficient Ionizing Effect. Today, the health benefits of Negative Ionizers are well recognized. While most ionizers on the market are man-made machines, the Salt Crystal Lamps are a beautiful,  maintenance free, natural alternative from Mother Nature to improve air quality. With time, the Salt Crystal Lamps will not reduce in size, color or shape, and will not lose weight, or their ionizing effect!
