File:Saltlamp.jpg is a 208x288 orange blob that I wouldn't recognise as a salt lamp if I saw it without context. Commons has a lot of better photos at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Salt_crystal_lanterns, I went for File:Salzlampe.jpg but User:Agricolae didn't like it. What is it important to actually illustrate here? -- Lord Belbury ( talk) 10:40, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
@ Zefr I noticed that my edits were recently reverted due to WP: SCIRS. The source for the information I had added was - https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/health-and-nutrition-quackery-you-asked/himalayan-pink-salt. I would like to better understand why this source in considered an unreliable source? This exact source is already being used in the article already.

Himalayan salt is rock salt ( halite) mined from the Salt Range mountains in the Pakistani region of Punjab. The salt is principally sodium chloride but has trace presence of calcium, iron, zinc, chromium, magnesium, and sulfate, minerals which give some veins of the salt a pink or reddish color. Himalayan salt is often used as a substitute for common table salt, sometimes being promoted as a healthier alternative, although there is no scientific evidence to support this. It has also been used as a material for serving dishes, baking stones, and griddles. This image of coarse white and pink grains of Himalayan salt, up to 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in diameter, was focus-stacked from 23 individual photographs. Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
