    In my (relatively uninformed) opinion, mostly yes, but kinda no.

    While a salt lamp is made of mined salt they’re usually made of a lower grade of salt than the stuff that ends up for food use, so you’d probably end up with some unpleasant “dirt” flavors in the salt. However, more importantly most salt lamps I’ve seen have been varnished, since raw salt will absorb moisture from the air and melt into brine. So you’d also be consuming a lot of whatever they used to give the lamp a moisture proof coating and I don’t know how food safe that is.
