I was first introduced to the wonder of crystal salt candle holders by my dearest friend Courtney, and the photos are actually of the exact one she bought me! After doing some research, I realized what an amazing gift this actually is (besides the fact that it looks amazing in so many places in our home!). Salt crystal candle holders are made from salt crystals mined in the Himalayan Mountains. They then drill a hole into it large enough for a candle to sit inside. Salt crystals supposedly release negative ions, helping to lower stress. There's also reports from some asthma sufferers as well as people suffering from SAD that it has lowered their symptoms. Take it as you wish, but I say, why not? You can purchase your own here, or at most shops that also deal with rocks or gemstones.


You can also purchase salt crystals in chucks without holes drilled in them, and arrange them in bowls, shells, or even just resting on a bookshelf or tray in your home. Do you have any salt crystals in your home? Comment below!
