Comment on: Topic 'I Had to Have It and I'm So in Trouble': so of them. Oh, wait - I should give an honorable mention to my red/clear Colossus. It too, is spectacular! Ummm... Should also mention Erin's Mystique glitter -- so nicely conceived and the glitter flow and color are something to behold. And then there's the Confetti glitter - a sweet, sweet, sweet flashing red and blue beauty! I apologize if I've left anyone out... …; Added by Kirk at 6:47pm on May 4, 2013

Comment for: Jen P.: ntally saw a Florence art glitter and have been obsessed ever since). I am purchasing a Mystique later this week and trying to get a Florence glitter also. I still have to learn more about the lavas - but I love the stunning vintage ones. I'm going to save up and see if I can get an Aladdin. The choices are soooo tempting (but there don't seem to be many vintages out there - is it because you few guys have them all squirreled away? ;-) Thanks again for everything. You're terrific!!! Best, Jen…; Added by Jen P. at 3:24am on July 6, 2008

Comment on: Topic 'Neat or Rare Closed eBay Sales': Kicks rock... But how can you be mad when they're so cute. Cute on the surface but they will rip your face off. Don't be fooled. wizard of ooze said: 'Mystique'- rare lava version; Added by Jim at 10:24pm on August 8, 2011

Comment on: Photo 'Gemlite Mystiques - One lava, one glitter': flat and hold it while it cools. For the missing top, go to a sign shop that works with Plexiglas and bring a complete top (steel and plastic parts). Have them cut a new plate of 1/8" (or slightly less if they have it) black Plexi, then have them glue on some tiny scraps so that it won't wiggle. They use a special chemical glue (actually a chlorinated solvent similar to what's in the fast glitters) that causes the two pieces of Plexi to liquefy and then solidify as one piece. If you want it to be really detailed, and they have the tools, have them "fire polish" the edges and corners - or do it yourself with a pen torch. Just a quick run-over with a hot, focused flame will polish and soften corners and edges. These are spectacular lamps, and that refill is classy. The lava ones are much rarer than glitter in both Mystique and Continental.…; Added by Jonas Clark-Elliott at 10:44am on February 29, 2012

Topic: I Had to Have It and I'm So in Trouble: 3984.m1497.l2649 It had just been listed and I asked the seller about spray, motor, color wheel, and other condition issues. He sent me extra pictures along with an excellent response. So, I pulled the trigger. This is now my new record amount paid for a single lamp. The prior record was for Erin's Mystique which I love and get compliments from everyone that sees it. Any lamps get you into trouble? …; Added by Kirk at 1:54pm on May 2, 2013

Comment on: Topic 'Consort Astro on e-Bay': ere made for very long - at least I get that impression. I have a b/w, undated catalog illustration for one, with the colors listed (standard orange/yellow, red/clear, green/blue) which I got along with ads with identical fonts and layout for the lava Mystique and Continental, which are late-70s lamps. They've all got that beautiful piece of green leatherette on the bottom, gold cap and spiral, brushed silver base, and interesting and sturdy construction. I traded mine off a few years ago to another nice collector, and I'm finding myself hoping more and more that, eventually, I'll find something else rare that I like less and can see if he'll trade back. But he really restored it beautifully, more than I ever tried to do - all I did was replace the contents. Bohdan's is the only green/blue I've seen, all others have been red/clear, making orange/yellow currently its rarest color.…; Added by Jonas Clark-Elliott at 12:04am on October 1, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'The Pudding': fetti GemLites, 650 (silver silver/clear) and 642 (black silver/pink) have their globes swapped. I visited Lava World in, I think, 1999 or 2000. At that time, they had SOME old catalogs, which they photocopied (very darkly) as well as two copies of issues of the Lava Liter, an early-days in-company newsletter. They told me they had zero older or discontinued lamps, and they had a display of current models running. Here are four screengrabs from the YouTube video. In three, I've IDed a number of unusual older lamps, including Mediterranean, Saturna, Carlisle, Aladdin, Enchantress Planters of both styles with orig. flowers, Mystique lava, 650 Confetti GemLite, a Giant Lava, an unusually flat-based Consort, as well as an unidentified lamp, a black square base with plastic sides and silver surface with an Elegant-type bottle sitting in it...? There's a rain lamp, too, a Creators' Shower-Lite with the Venus statue, an older late 70s-early 80s large size.…; Added by Jonas Clark-Elliott at 4:04pm on December 11, 2009
