GR translation: facets of salt

[Mike Jing]

V659.14-27   “He—” and this hesitation may be (a) in consideration of her
feelings, or (b) for reasons of Schwarzkommando security, or (c) both of
the above . . . but then, hell, the Principle of Maximizing Risk takes over
again: “he got as far as the Lüneberg Heath. If you didn’t know, you ought
to.”
       “You’ve been looking for him.”
       “Yes. So has Slothrop been, though I don’t think Slothrop knows
that.”
       “Slothrop and I—” she looks around the room, her eyes skitter off
metal surfaces, papers, facets of salt, cannot come to rest anywhere As if
making a desperate surprise confession: “Everything is so remote now. I
don’t really know why they sent me out here. I don’t know any more who
Slothrop really was. There’s a failure in the light. I can’t see. It’s all
going away from me . . . .”

Do these "facets of salt" mean that they are at Enzian's headquarters which
is in a salt mine?
