What makes this selenite sphere tealight holder special
This hand-polished selenite sphere tealight holder is made from natural white mineral with a characteristic silky lustre and long fibrous structure. A recess on top of the sphere holds a traditional tealight, and thanks to the translucent nature of the stone, the warmth of the flame illuminates the mineral from within. You will receive a gentle, warm glow that immediately calms the atmosphere of any room.
Why many choose selenite for their home
Selenite is one of those minerals that people have kept in their homes for centuries as decoration and as a meditation companion. Its soft white colour, delicate translucency and silky surface convey purity and calm. Many of our customers choose it because its natural beauty suits both modern and classical interiors, and combined with candlelight it creates an especially pleasant atmosphere.
How to use it in everyday life
Place it on your living room coffee table for an evening read, or in the centre of the dining table for supper. Some put it in the bathroom for a long relaxing bath, others on the bedside table so the day ends with a peaceful glow. It is a perfect companion for meditation, yoga or a quiet evening pause. It is also a kind gift for birthdays, housewarmings or Mother's Day.
Cleaning and care
Selenite is a soft, sensitive mineral and deserves special attention. Never wash it with water, as water can damage the surface and dull the fine striated structure. Clean it with a dry, soft cotton or microfibre cloth and gently wipe away dust. Keep it in a dry place, protected from direct moisture and humid rooms. When changing the tealight, let the sphere cool completely first.
What to watch for when buying
Every selenite piece is unique, so the direction of the striation, the tone of the white shade and the degree of translucency may vary from piece to piece. You will receive a natural item, no two pieces are identical. Place the sphere on a stable surface where moisture cannot reach it. Use only a standard tealight, do not place a larger candle inside.
