Helen Morris replied to Helen Morris's discussion lava full of white bits"ive heard that lava lamps don't always travel very well & that this can cause the all white bits in the wax.

Keep an eye on what's being listed on eBay UK as I recently purchased a new blue/blue discontinued bottle for the Astrobaby & Telstar. Which could become surplus to requirements depending on if I like a Glitterbaby or not. Have a look on http://60slights.ning.com also on the off chance someone has one to sell.
Regards John.
