into tropical fish keeping, bowie, narrowboats/canals/inland waterways, and of course lava lamps.
Where I Live:
bedfordshire
My First Lava Lamp was:
back in 69. 12th birthday present from my parents. bugged them for one from 7yrs old. they were very expensive back then. it was a crestworth rose/amber astrolamp. still got it.
Its very rare, not because of what it is, but because its something that I and "she who must be obeyed" both love and I allowed to have it in pride of place in our lounge lol
HAH! Had a blast, just got back to the States and caught up to the OG. Kept the shorts on best I could, the Pacific tried to snag them a couple times, HAH!
On your found Living Jewel, Pete... I think I'd filter all of the glitter and small pieces out, and then replace with new glitter. I believe the Living Jewel glitter is the same size as my large holo square glitter. I also have some large non-holo square glitter coming tomorrow for testing. Non-holo is probably more original to the Living Jewel. I'd be happy to post some to you.
A funnel and coffee filter work well for filtering the liquid.

Hi Aladdin 2 Lava,
Thank you for your welcome.
Unfortunately I was born way back in 47 but only earning £5 a week in the sixties and there were other calls on my income lol
Here is a photo of our lamp, 20140610_195924.jpg

I didn't know Pete but have marveled over his collection. He certainly had a great eye for lamps. Very sad.
