In my profile I put that I like crystals and gems, but not for mystical reasons. I like them for their geologic composition and because they look pretty. My secret Santa came through for me with a practical, pretty crystal! The Pink Himalayan Salt Lamp fits in with my wood walls, and it's warm glow makes a good low-light reading lamp. If anyone is wondering (because I sure was) these lamps really are made from salt (yes, I licked it).
