The special character of the sphere shape
The sphere is one of the oldest and most loved forms in nature. This piece is made from a single selenite block, with a small cavity in the centre for the tealight. The surface is gently polished to keep the round form, while the holder stands stably on a flat surface. A round, perfectly curved decoration arrives to you.
How it lights up
With the tealight placed in the centre cavity, the flame glows outward from inside the sphere. The light spreads in a circular way, unlike cone or heart-shaped holders that radiate more upward. This gives a very pleasant, all-direction mood. You can see it especially nicely on an open shelf where it is visible from several sides.
What it suits
The centre of a dining table where invited guests can see it from every side. A low coffee table where it casts light both upward and sideways nicely. The bedroom bedside table, where a little soft glow helps with falling asleep after reading. It is also a festive small centrepiece for a holiday dinner.
Stability and practical tips
The sphere's base is slightly flattened so that it stands stably on a shelf. Still, if you worry it might roll, we suggest placing it in a small dish with a slight cavity — this is safer. The surface is smooth but not glossy — which makes it soft to the touch and pleasantly understated.
Safety and care
Use only standard tealights. Do not pour water on it, since selenite is water-sensitive. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Never leave a lit candle unattended, and watch that no flammable object is near the holder.
