Pink Himalayan Salt Rock Lamps are made using pink salt crystals mined solely from the Himalayas. The most popular location in the Himalayas for mining these salts is in Kewra, Pakistan.  Converting these salt crystals into a lamp involves hollowing out large chunks of these crystals and placing a bulb inside that emits both light and heat. These ‘Pink’ Himalayan Salt Lamps do vary in colors ranging from light pink to an intense orange. This is dependent on the mineral concentration of the crystals.

Himalayan salt lamps are a new trend in interior décor, specifically as bedside and tabletop lamps. They are said to not only be stunning to look at but apparently also provide health benefits for those around. Most of these theories however, have no scientific backing and are mainly claims.

The perception of calm always tends to put ease to a troubled mind, and nothing does that job better than a pink Himalayan salt lamp . Other than ju...
