These lamps are pure luxe - glossy, polished, jewel-like and unique. It's all about the materials: super shiny sheesham wood with all the natural grain showing, big rock-candy style hunks of crystal (and recycled glass that resembles crystal), and dark marble and milky alabaster in highly polished chunky blocks. These are not the most budget-friendly lamps we've seen, but are all statement pieces for a room - so in terms of "decor dollars" these go a long way.
Shown above, left to right:
1. Rock Crystal Lamp from Anthropologie for $2200.
2. Globe Lamp in Sheesham from West Elm for $299.
3. Alabaster Block Lamp from Williams Sonoma Home for $395 - 495.
4. Recycled Glass Lamps in Marmalade from Swank Lighting for $2800.
5. Marble Block Lamp from Williams Sonoma Home for $395 - 495.

Pictures 3 and 5...not so much. Everything else is AWESOME.
OK. That first lamp IS amazingly beautiful, but $2200?! For a LAMP!? That is pretty much my budget right now for a used car! WTF?!
love this look--it's a 70s trend I'm thrilled to see again.
I also love #1, but the price is insane.
The first one yes insane price but look what it can do for you :), maybe after spending that money one will come to their senses?
White Quartz, often referred to as “Frozen Light,” or “Ice of Eternity,” is perhaps one of the most powerful stones used by healers and other Magickal practitioners. It comes in a range of shapes, and ranges from crystal clear to translucent. The clearest stones have a masculine, projective energy, while the more milky and translucent stones have a feminine, or receptive energy. (Not wanting to sound sexist, but these terms have been used for thousands of years, and it may be too late to change now.) The frosty white version of this stone, almost milky in its whiteness, is sometimes called “Snow Quartz.”
This is a “programmable” stone, meaning that one using it can charge it with a variety of types of energy. It can receive, store, activate, amplify and transmit energy. It is a great aid for meditation.
In and of itself, however, it is a powerful all-around healer. It is also used to amplify the powers of other crystals, and is frequently found on the table of a Tarot reader, for example, to help one clarify his or her own psychic readings. It is especially useful in helping us to focus, concentrate and control our thoughts, intentions and actions. It stimulates brain functions, amplifying thought forms while at the same time helping to balance the emotions.
White Quartz activates the Crown Chakra, and helps to promote clarity of mind. It has an affinity with the Archangel Rafael, and aids in study and concentration. At the same time, this crystal has natural prismatic effects, and can split beams of white light into the seven basic colors of the rainbow, each of which relates to one of the Chakras, simultaneously activating all levels of consciousness.
It aids in helping us to listen to our Higher Selves and our Spirit Guides. It also helps to dispel negativity, both in our environment and in our own personal energy fields.
This crystal also helps to stimulate the healthy function of the pineal and pituitary glands.
All of these are priced ridiculously for lamps, though I do like the globe one. But it's huge! (Look at the photos that show it next to a couch.)
Hmm, a $2200 lamp -- it'd look great next to my ikea sofa.
For the Chicago readers, the last time I was at Home Goods on Elston, they had several lamps that looked like rock crystal or maybe even a salt pillar. Really pretty, and more like $50 rather than $2200.
Chakras are nice & and all, but for $2200 I can buy a nice lamp, a lump of crystal that'll do that job just fine & a brand new couch. Pretty, but no thanks
Can't you just like something without coveting it? Your economic limitations don't detract from good design.
