So chemically salt is NaCl; are there any additives in a salt lamp that make it deviate from that structure?
Cuz if not it would be cool to actually use your salt lamp for something useful.

It’s not meant to be food safe and therefore doesn’t have to abide by any of the usual food safety requirements.
For all you know, the salt lamp could’ve spent a month inside leaded fuel and was only superficially cleaned prior to being sold. Sure, it’s almost certainly not the case but you just do not know how the lamp was handled and whether it has absorbed hazardous contaminants.

They probably have a higher percentage of dirt than table salt

other natural salts (like in rock salt) perhaps. never seen such lamp irl so haven’t tasted (is it safe?).

I’ve licked a few salt lamps and I’m still here, so it must be safe

Pure NaCl is cloudy white, so if it has any other color, there are other minerals mixed in the crystals, the NaCl is still there, there are also a buch of other atoms

It’s something Steven Brule would recommend.

My boyfriend puts a lot of salt on everything he eats. As a joke I bought him an Lickstone for horses for his birthday.

You certainly won’t regret cooking with the shavings from your Himalayan salt lap.
