Lava Lamps

The lava lamp was created by Craven Walker. Just like so many creations and inventions happen by accident, Craven had no idea that he had created an icon of the 60's and 70's. If you don't have a lava lamp, or have not seen one, you will be in for a peaceful treat. The "lava" is heated up by a light bulb inside the glass container, causing it to rise above the water. As it rises, it then cools off and begins to sink to the bottom.

Lava lamps, by no means, are limited to the "days of old". They are here to stay. They are available in different sizes. Sizes ranging from a little more than 1o inches to a giant lamp that stands 4 feet tall. These lamps are also available in various color arrangements. Just as the lava lamps range in colors and sizes, so does the price. The 4 foot tall lava lamp is significantly more expensive than one that is around 10 inches.
