Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

Was there really a green or orange US-made Lava Lite glitter globe?

It's referenced on Shawn's chart, but I've never seen a real legit orange or green Lava Lite glitter.

So, does it really exist? I have an orange one, but it's a mix of red and yellow glitter. 

I saw this on eBay today and it was gone in a few hours. I don't think it's legit - I'm guessing a weird faded teal or something based on the seller's description of it having blueish-green fluid (even though it looks green to me).

Thoughts?

I was watching when that popped up very late last night, Erin, and the base was dented, the cap is wrong, and the globe color looked weird to me.  I'm no expert, but I could have bought it, and didn't.  I didn't have a good feeling about the globe, although if they were made, I do need a green and an orange.  Also a yellow, which were made.

According to the Library, a glitter green was made, number 36, and orange number 38.  I got that off Shawn's list too. I've never even seen a yellow on ebay.

I've seen a few yellows on eBay and actually have one, too.
Orange were limited i believe

Green must have been very limited too, if they were made, and of course I need all three.......Erin, I remember that great picture you have of your yellow one, and don't you have an orange?   Or did you make it?  

Ignore that about the orange, I see where you made it out of yellow and red now....sorry.

OK, but has anyone ever SEEN one? I'm wondering if they were made at all. I've never had anyone confirm that they have had or seen one. 

My orange came from Mike (BlindFaith). And I love it! 

No, I have "never" seen one.   The picture you posted is the closest, but like I said, I was leery of it for several reasons.

 

Erin, this Wizard line-up is in the archives, but no green or orange......hmmmm

Erin, both Green and Orange are legit.  I don't know if they were limited availability or not.

These are from the collection of a former OGer:

Green-Blue-Orange USA Glitter

I believe I know who those belonged to (Bohdan) and if you look at the caps, they have been re-capped (they are plain silver caps - not white). Mike (BlindFaith) had the other pair and they were made by combining yellow and red to make orange and yellow and blue to make green. He told me Bohdan made them for him and I'm guessing the picture above is the other pair - a custom job.

Ok. I remember they were described as USA glitters. I guess since the originals were USA the customs technically are also. But not originals.

I asked the seller about the cap code on the green glitter I posted above. It was a 35GK which is a China teal. 

So far, no true green or orange has ever been seen. I need to ask Shawn how those two colors came to be on the cap code chart...

I have a 35GK China teal, and it's so dark you can't even see the glitter.  It was sold to me from a "reputable" company as being "old stock" US bottles.  Yeah...
