What colour your Salt lamp

Salt in its purest form is white. Salt from the Himalayas varies in color from pure white to deep red, with every shade of pink and peach in between. This coloration is caused by iron infused within the salt crystals: the redder the salt, the higher the iron content. The most prized of these colors is a medium peach or pink and it is the color most sought after by the top manufacturers. There are a few reasons for this:

White Salt Lamps can be very beautiful. Unfortunately, they are also very brittle. So fragile that the slightest shock can shatter them, much like glass. On a positive note, their color can be changed simply by using a colored light bulb. This can also be done with a very light pink lamp and, for durability, we recommend that you purchase a light pink salt lamp rather than a pure white one.

We have seen Red Salt Lamps sold as a highly prized, rare commodity. Unfortunately, many buyers have been disappointed upon receiving these "treasures". Often a dark red salt lamp will emit very little light, regardless of the wattage of the bulb used. The high iron content blocks the light from penetrating the salt. If you prefer a darker salt lamp, we recommend that you choose one in a very dark pink rather than red.

Pink and Peach Salt Lamps offer the optimum combination of beauty, light and durability. A large range of shades are available, all of which are very beautiful.


If you have a particular color preference, contact your seller prior to purchasing your salt lamp. While a seller is limited by their current stock availability, they may be able to accommodate your color preference.
