Halite Rock Salt Crystal Lamp Ionizer
November 27, 2006 @ 9:49 pm
Oh man, these salt lamps are amazing. I first encountered one (actually four) in Australia while staying with Miranda's cousin and his hippie landlords. The text on the website that sells them is precious: 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.
I guess you could say that the oceans contain a dissolved halite solution, if "salty" didn't have quite the scientific ring you were looking for.
For centuries people have known about the ability of Salt Crystal Rock to enhance air qualities by enriching the air with "Negative Ions ", ionizing the air for benefit to humans. Salt Crystal Rock and lamps made from Salt Crystal Rocks are natural air ionizers.
Ridiculous! And yet, I want one so bad! Or two or three.

"If we talk about lamps, a lamp in your room can help improve your concentration and refresh you. " Maybe one of these lamps is what I need to get this paper done. Concentration is seriously lacking, and I definitely feel less-than-fresh right now.

I got one as a Solstice present! And the same week, NPR reports that high density negative air ions are just as effective at treating Seasonal Affective Disorder as sun lamps! Whoopee!
