Originally we didn't use anything under it, BUT seems the humidity is far worse on the Gulf side.

So, one day when I went to dust, there was a "melted crystallized ring" under ours. My honey has some cool purple saucers, it fits perfectly.

We tried a rubber non skid piece of foam BUT it is perforated & the salt lamp melted again, so now we have saucer.

I paid $20 for this one, included light kit & wiring already assembled. Has a slide switch inline, so just turn on & off that way.

Thanks, Jesse!!!

Also nowadays you buy them on Amazon and other online retailers, but I think I did buy mine from a gem shop over 10 years ago and they were much more expensive back then than they are now.

P.S. I just read that humidity will cause them to sweat, unless you just leave them on, then the heat from the bulb will prevent the sweat. That's why I didn't know why the need for the saucer, I only turn mine off when I go to bed and then turn it right back on when I get up in the morning. It never dawned on me about the sweating. Doh!
