Salt Candles

December 11th, 2003

A former flame and now good friend Hiromi has happened onto a new thing: salt candles. Mined from ancient salt deposits in the Asian subcontinent, these are more than just lumps of salt; they make very attractive candle holders. With holes drilled through their cores, exactly to the size of tea candles, they light up and make for very nice ornaments.

Hiromi gave me one not too long ago (as thanks for helping her set up her web site), and though I’m not much of a candle person, I have to say I do like it. They have an aesthetic, primitive quality to them.

Hiromi (pictured right, with a few of the candles) is testing the waters as to marketing some of them, seeing if there is any demand. If anyone is interested, leave a comment with an email address, I’ll get back to you on it.

    Depending on price, I’d love to buy some. Too bad they would be late for xmas because they would be cool, and very unique xmas presents. But thats ok, they’d be cool for birthdays and such.

    I’ve been looking for salt candles and lamps. Depending upon the cost, I’d certainly be interested in seeing your inventory. I think they are quite unusual and would make nice gifts.
