A large pillar of salt that is quickly crumbling away. “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But [Lot's] wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” -KJV Bible, Genesis 19:24-6.

Trivia

The concept of someone being turned into a pillar of salt is taken from the Book of Genesis, chapter 19, where Lot's wife disobeys God by looking back at the burning cities of Sodom and Gomorrah; as punishment, she is immediately turned to a pillar of salt.
