It may be salt as someone stated, or may also be lime. My husband was in the business for many years. The best thing to do is call a pro in who can tell you, as well as make sure its not deteriorating and is in safe working condition.

It sounds a bit like salt damp where dampness is drawn up into the brick work from the earth below bringing salt up with it - this happens if a damp course wasn't installed when the house was built. I think it is a job for a professional to fix

Chris, you will want to contact a brick mason, a person who builds or constructs fireplaces. A mason will be able to tell what the problem is. Check out the yellow pages in your phone book or contact a reputable construction company in your area and ask for the name and number of the brick mason they use.
