I have a rain lamp and have always been able to purchase mineral oil at most drug stores (Walgreens or CVS) and at hardware (Ace) stores. A pint of it shouldn't cost you more than about $3.50. Otherwise, I would recommend Amazon.com or drugstore.com.
The best type of oil to use in a lava lamp is mineral oil. It has a high boiling point and is clear, so it won't interfere with the lava lamp's coloring. Make sure to use a high-quality mineral oil to prevent any residue buildup in the lamp.

No, you should not use corn oil for a homemade lava lamp. Corn oil is not ideal for creating the lava lamp effect due to its density and chemical composition. It's better to use mineral oil or vegetable oil for better results.

A classic lamp contains a standard incandescent bulb or halogen lamp which heats a tall (often tapered) glass bottle. A formula from 1968 U.S. patent consisted of water and a transparent, translucent or opaque mix of mineral oil, paraffin wax and carbon tetrachloride. The clear water and/or mineral oil can optionally be colored with transparent dyes.

A lava lamp is an example of a pure substance because it is made up of only one type of material, typically a mixture of paraffin wax and mineral oil. The components in the lamp do not separate into different substances and remain uniform throughout the lamp.
No. There are no models available that can analyze a specific lava lamp and predict the pattern of the wax suspended in the oil. There are too many specifics that vary from one lamp to another. The specific position of the lamp in the base, for one. The continually varying temperature of the wax, oil, container, ambient surroundings. All of these things and more are involved in the creation of the patterns observed.
