It’s been a while since we lived in caves but our love for natural stone still persists. So even in the most contemporary of homes, there is room for the Rock Lamp. The lovely natural tones of Appalachian stones perfectly sets off the light from the flame. As with natural rocks, each piece is unique in both colour and shape. The hues range anywhere from slate grey to warm reddish colours to even greens. The rock lamp will make a great table centerpiece for your next dinner party instead of candles.

The Rock Lamp’s permanent wick feeds oil from the 4 oz reservoir. There are two sizes, the small one has only one flame and costs $30. The dual flame version costs, $50. Both are available from Skymall.com.
