>over a year ago, place a bunch of books on my dresser and a salt lamp i had no purpose for on the rightmost stack

>a few months go by, i don't pay attention to it at all, realize that the top of the stack on the right was weird and crusty n shit, just ignore it

>a few more months go by and i decide i'm never gonna read the books, decide to just give them a way
> taking all the stacks off my dresser and when i go to move the salt lamp i notice the entire stack of books has been fucking crystalized, just completely assimilated into basically a rock

>the book that was affected the worse couldn't even be opened, the pages were completely sealed together by salt

does anyone know how this happened? i didn't know salt could just... leak.
