I have a massive chunk of pink Himalayan salt that had been carved out to accomodate a small bulb to make a lamp. A friend of mine gave it to me since it got away from him. I think it was dusty and he hit it with a damp cloth and that started this whole hygroscopic chain reaction; when the lamp was plugged in and on it would be warm enough to stay dry despite the crazy humidity, but when it was truned off it began sucking moisture from the air and started dissolving, creating rivulets of salt water that corroded everything it came into contact with. It's now in my basement awaiting judgement.
