Double Helix Lamp


Yeah, lava lamps were cool a few decades ago, but there has to be a way to update that kind of aesthetic to celebrate our growing knowledge of DNA sequencing, right? LucidMovement created his DIY, Grown Crystal Double Helix Lamp by submerging a double helix wire formation in a warm alum solution for a while, removing the crystal-covered wires, placing them in a glass tube, and filling in the gaps with clear silicone.
