<p>Mine looks just like Erin's...and also developed the fluff. But I figure there is no way to fix the fluff and I don't want to try opening the lamp and ruining it. Besides the boiling action is the main attraction and the reason I bought it anyways...I don't really care about the glitter.</p>

<p>I have one that survived shipping from member Autumn: <a href="http://oozinggoo.ning.com/photo/geyser-lamp-or-boiler-lamp?context=user" target="_blank">http://oozinggoo.ning.com/photo/geyser-lamp-or-boiler-lamp?context=user</a></p>

<p>I love mine, but mine has "fluff" in the liquid - likely dissolved glitter. I'd keep yours as-is, as these are rare and opening one up could ruin it entirely. </p>

<p>Cool find!</p>

<p>Loads of these broke just in shipment to stores. There were two sizes; the large ones had silver metal bases, smaller had black or translucent blue plastic. Both came in three shapes: conical like yours, bulging, or an hourglass shape. Quite uncommon.</p>
<p>I believe Bohdan used a Dremel to file off the top point, then epoxied a cap on there. Kind of a messy method. Like the French lamps they're patterned after, they're actually sealed. If it were mine, I would leave it be and figure out a…</p>

<p>Yup its a geyser lamp. Spencers sold them somewhere in the 2000's. I have one w/ blue liquid. The base is quite different than a lava base actually, and it does take a 15 watt tubular bulb. Looks like a microwave oven bulb. That bottom part of the lamp where that mirror strip is actually fits right down over the bulb when it sits on its regular base. Surprised it works on a lava base...I guess b/c the wattage is high enough to still heat it up without the bulb being up in that little…</p>

<p>I finally found out what they're called! <br></br>Geyser lamps, or boiler lamps (but not the french kind).<br></br>They do apparently break a lot. Hopefully that means there are some bases out there missing their globes, and I can pick up a proper base for it, inside of this ill fitting normal one. Or in other words, does anyone have a geyser base they are looking to get rid of?</p>

<p>Apparently someone called "Bohdan" replaced his glitter water with pink glitter water, so it is doable to at least replace the water, turning it into a real lava lamp is another question altogether though. Bohdan's account seems to not exist anymore, but he is on another lava lamp site.</p>

<p>It apparently takes a 15w bulb. The 40w in my base is probably much to much for it. I did remove the little plastic mirror thing before it melted thankfully.</p>

<p>These pop up every once in a while and yours looks to be in fine shape. One thing people say is how fragile they are, they don't ship very well. So can it be done? I don't know. The risk of breakage is on the high side and you may never be able to replace it.</p>
<p>And welcome to Oozing Goo!!</p>
