Salt lamps are known throughout the world for their ability to purify the air. These natural air purifiers work when lit by emitting negative ions into the air that attack positively charged particles.

Each hand carved lamp comes with a cord and wooden base. (lamp weight is approximately 6 lbs) Warning: For your safety, please use 5 or 7 watt bulbs only.
