  It’s pink, which is a pretty and uncommon color for salt from other places.

  It’s Himalayan and therefore oriental.

  It’s a crystal, but cheap (cause it’s salt).

  Some weirdos think crystals have beneficial magic properties just from being in their vicinity.

  Combine those and you have the perfect mass-market object for white people to become obsessed with.

    And it can be problematic on a few levels, for one it is toxic to cats and some of them want to lick it, it can also collect humidity from the air and drip it over your desk and power cords (hmm, spicy salty water).

      This is why I have one! It is incredibly beautiful, with its soft orange glow, when lit up. The winter is long and dark here, and I need all sorts of beautiful lights to look at.
