Himalayan Natural Salt Tea Light.. Our beautiful mineral candle holders are the perfect gift.  They can be used with either a t-lite or a small aromatic candle.  When lit, the natural stone emits a gorgeous glow, helping to restore calm and peacefulness.. Measures approx. 4\" x 3.5\". This salt tea light is made from natural salt from an ancient sea which was squeezed out of existence by moving continents hundreds of millions of years ago and now lies buried in the foothills of the Himalayas.. The salt has been mined for hundreds of years and is believed to have first been discovered by Alexander the Great in 320 BC, when his horses stopped to lick it.. Because these are natural salt products, do not place directly on polished wooden surfaces.
