  • This is how 800 million pounds of Khewra salt, often called Himalayan salt, is mined each year. Formed over 250 million years ago, and first mined in the 1200s, Himalayan salt is a mineral that was initially used as a food preservative. These days, it's more commonly used in bath salts, salt lamps, salt bricks, salt tiles and even medicines.

    The Khewra Salt Mine is famous for its production of pink Khewra salt which is an 250 million-year-old, non-renewable resource. The mine is huge, comprised of a network of roughly 25 miles of tunnels. The main ground level tunnel was first dug in 1872 during the British rule. From this tunnel, the mine extends about 2,440 feet into the mountains.

    What’s interesting is how all the machinery is rusty due to the corrosive nature of working with salt

    Any who uses this should take the time to see how it gets to them. If you think anyone working there is being paid a decent wage trying going over there and living on what they get paid. Not to mention the process of how the salt is worked. You need to realize what your setting is not the reality. This is a edit version of what really happens.

      I think it had to do with where it is and climactic conditions to decide on best before. Also, these are lamps expiry shouldn't matter hey.

      No different than bottled water having expiration dates.
      In my mind the dates are for the large group of consumers who don't use their common sense.

      ​​@@shilpaudeshi9903 I believe that remark refers to expiration dates on pink salt that is for consumption, not on lamps. I own at least 6 of the lamps and have looked at quite a few in order to purchase what I have and have never seen an expiration date on any lamp made of pink salt.
