&nbsp;Salt lamps

I bought one from ebay for $25, including shipping last week or the week before.  It arrived quickly.  The owner didn't display the exact lamp, she put up a picture of a group of lamps.  I emailed what I liked before I ordered and when i ordered I included with payment my request.  I think the seller sent me a really good match to what I wanted.  It isn't as nice as the 1st one I bought at a show, but that one was hand picked and twice as much money (50-60$, I forget exactly)Anyhoo, my new one is at my new job and its great because it gives off just enough warm light.  I put a 45watt bulb in it because it only came with a 4watt (too little to heat up the lamp in a reasonable amount of time)  The other one I got first came with a 15watt but I also changed that to a 45watt.  Easy to do, just make sure that you buy narrow bulbs with the little metal screw-in part.I wouldn't recommend the tea lamps for a therapeutic effect because I think they are too small and I wonder how fast they heat up.  They are beautiful, however, and much less expensive.have a good one, all!

Making a "merge" of threads here:

I am still waiting for mine to be delivered - ordered it last Friday. Does anyone here have one? What do you think? I will let you know after I get mine.

I just got a small one this past week end. My husband and I went to the mountains and visited a Rock Shop that was run by a MT. She had some salt lamps there and I was intrigued by them. The one I got is a votive holder. The glow it gives off is beautiful. The color is kind of a orange-pink.

I don't know about all the claims people make about them...but I do feel good around my salt lamp. I am drawn to water falls and forests. Hmmmm. Maybe there is something about the negative ions?

I just bought a salt lamp from that site http://www.natural-salt-lamps.com that a few people were talking about...I bought the persian one, it should match my massage room since it is purple and the salt lamp is bluish purple...I can't wait till it gets here. Before i read this thread i really didn't know what the salt lamps did, i just thought they looked cool. Now that i read this thread everyone got me excited to try them out!!!

I recently purchased a bar of salt from a small shop near by. It was described as a massage bar or salt bar. It's the same salt as the lamps but is in a shape like a bar of soap. It can be heated to increase the negative ion effect, similar to what the lightbulb does.

I've been using it with my massage but not directly on my clients. I heat it up in the towel warmer & place it on their low back. EVERYONE has noticed it & loves it. I've really enjoyed using it.

I found similar items on this site in a quick search. I paid $6.50 at a local shop for my soap. Not sure what their prices are;
