The magic of the snow globe form
This candle holder takes a round, winter-evoking shape. Its top has a fine recess so that a standard tea-light fits exactly. The spherical side and curved surface recall traditional snow globes — but in selenite, with a white satin shimmer. It is hand-carved in Morocco, so every piece has a unique character.
The light that floats through the sphere
When you light the tea-light, the warmth of the flame is translucently distributed through the spherical crystal. Due to the satin inner structure, the light does not appear evenly but in soft stripes — especially in the lower half of the sphere. In evening twilight this is an extraordinary sight: the whole sphere glows from within and floods its surroundings with warm whiteness. You can quiet down at the sight.
Atmosphere in different parts of the home
In the centre of the dining table it offers a warm point of light for a winter dinner. On the corner of the living room coffee table it gives soft light for evening reading or quiet film watching. On the bedroom bedside table it creates a calming point before bed. On the windowsill it also looks beautiful from outside, when warm light filters through into the dark street. You can choose your favourite spot.
Winter moods and festive rituals
Many people especially take out the selenite candle holder in the autumn and winter months, because the white light fits the snowy landscape and Christmas anticipation. At an advent dinner it is a beautiful central element, and it represents the warmth of winter evenings on the table. But it also holds its quiet role in the rest of the year — the white colour and soft light fit every season.
Safety and lasting care
Use only a standard tea-light — a larger candle or open flame can damage it. Wipe out the cooled wax gently with a paper towel. Water must NOT reach the holder, because selenite is a soft mineral and water damages it. Keep it away from curtains and paper, never leave it unattended with a burning candle. With this care you can enjoy it for many years.
