I wanted to make my own "basket" of salt rocks lamp. Is this the same type of salt used in therapeutic lamps?

It does look to be, I've got a salt lamp also, and they both look the same color and consistency, etc. It might be easier to just buy a salt lamp however, as the salt pieces that come in the package are small to really small, and it will take quite a few pieces to mound up to make a lamp. Plus the salt might rest right on the bulb and I don't know how that would affect the salt...

Yes it is I actually put this into your neti pot instead of regular salt and it works great to clear your sinuses

This one can be poured straight into into the salt shaker. They also have coarse salt that probably does need to be ground: http://smile.amazon.com/One-16-Ounce-Real-Salt-Coarse/dp/B001CM8RZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401558680&sr=8-1&keywords=real+salt+coarse

While the idea of the negative ions is a nice one, the amounts emitted by any of these salt lamps are way too low for any measurable result to be detected. So, use it as a beautiful, pleasing light. Don't use it as an air purifier. I have used three of these lamps in different sizes (two very large ones) and I know for a fact that there is no air purifying effect with them. We DO, however, love them for their glow and leave ours on all the time. If you have difficulty believing what I say, go here http://abreathofreason.com/tag/salt-lamp/

Neither. It is natural. It is not polished, shaped or artificial looking in any way. It is not crumbly at all. It looks like a natural stone or depending on size a small boulder. The color varies. The shape of each of mine are different as when they were mined. Because there is a hollow inside where the bulb is placed you get a beautiful glow coming through the salt stones different shades and colors and thickness. It really looks like a natural surface. When I run my hand over them nothing rubs or flakes off. I personally find one very attractive in a bedroom, living room, or Library. The picture just looks like a colored rock. Believe me the picture does not do them justice. I hope this was helpful to you. I was fortunate to have seen them in homes and knew exactly what they were and knew I wanted them.

I wouldn't recommend it, It's meant for medium rock salt, it has little holes on the bottom to take in the air when you use it, So I think with the fine salt it would then be a salt shaker instead of what it's intended for.It comes with a small bag of rock salt. use about half of it. it lasts for a few months...

Absolutely not! This is a magnetic ballast. Unless there is some type of self igniting metal halide bulb I am unaware of, you can not mix and match with metal halides like electronic ballasts. This is a high pressure sodium only. You may wish to contact hydrofarm for confirmation. I feel confident in this answer though.

This is an alcohol base fragrance so can not be used in a typical oil lamp. Special lamps are made by Alexandria and also Lampe Berger. Check it out on Google.

for that info I would advise you to go to the makers, CELTIC SEA SALT in Asheville, NC. for that answer. if its not on their website then u can call them. I put my salt in glass jars when I get it so I don't have the package but of course it is in trace mineral form.

Yes use all the salt rocks, arrange & layers them around the the bowl, covering the hole of course. I keep the light on 24/7 due to the moist humidity here in Hawai'i. otherwise the salt lamp will sweat and create a messy wet salty puddle.

I don't know about the bulb! DO NOT BUY THIS LAMP. I bought one as a gift last year for Christmas gift and it has fallen apart. The salt has desolved .i cannot return it according to the policy. Pick a style that is not made of peices and glued together. Good luck!!!

Sorry--I'm not a scientist. I got this for my foodie children. It's beautiful and looks like different sizes of rock salt.

as long as the salt is dry. I know some brands of celtic sea salt has the texture of wet sand. I use Himalayan sea salt in mine. Works great. if your salt is sticky in nature I wouldn't recommend this product. I think the salt would gum it up.

I spoke to a few friends of mine both very knowledgeable of the Himalayan salt rock foot lamps and they said that when they sit without the light being on, the salt is absorbing the air around it. I also believe its because when they ship the product they put a plastic wrapping around the salt dome which in turn creates moisture. The salt dome dried up within a few hours and now from time to time I get moisture and I just take a damp cloth and wipe around the wood pedestal. Please don't use any chemicals to wipe up the salt. I hope this helps!

I'm sorry, I really don't know. I put a clean piece of cord board in the middle, and put regular salt on one side, and sea salt on the other. So far, works great.

I've never used that salt, but the holes are smaller than toothpicks, if that helps. I use it for powered sugar, to put on cakes, etc.

It shouldn't. My product from this vendor was sub-par. It had white stuff all over it (and still does, the bulb has also blown and ive hardly had it 6 months). The people I got in contact with told me I needed to clean it with a damp towel for up to 2 weeks. Never have I ever come across that with any type of Himalayan salt item before.

The bulbs inside the lamp are not fixed firmly. They are attached to a spring which is inserted into the actual space in the salt then it expands. One of them had completely come out when I received them. I have bought this kind of lamp before and the chord coming out of the lamp is securely attached to the base which hold the whole thing safely. I think these lamps are not safe
