  You certainly won’t regret cooking with the shavings from your Himalayan salt lap.

  Just sit by it while you eat and lick it.

  So chemically salt is NaCl; are there any additives in a salt lamp that make it deviate from that structure?

  Cuz if not it would be cool to actually use your salt lamp for something useful.

    Pure NaCl is cloudy white, so if it has any other color, there are other minerals mixed in the crystals, the NaCl is still there, there are also a buch of other atoms

    It’s not meant to be food safe and therefore doesn’t have to abide by any of the usual food safety requirements.

    For all you know, the salt lamp could’ve spent a month inside leaded fuel and was only superficially cleaned prior to being sold. Sure, it’s almost certainly not the case but you just do not know how the lamp was handled and whether it has absorbed hazardous contaminants.

    They probably have a higher percentage of dirt than table salt

    other natural salts (like in rock salt) perhaps. never seen such lamp irl so haven’t tasted (is it safe?).

      I’ve licked a few salt lamps and I’m still here, so it must be safe

  It’s something Steven Brule would recommend.

  For your health!
