Selenite Heart Candle Holder

The Selenite Heart Candle Holder is carved from natural orange selenite, a variety of gypsum, into an elegant heart shape. When a tealight is lit inside, the stone gives off a lustrous orange glow that adds warmth to a bedroom, workspace or living room.

The heart shape is the first thing you notice. It is smooth and rounded, with the soft, translucent quality of natural selenite, and because the stone is natural, the colour and markings vary slightly from piece to piece, so no two holders look exactly alike.

An orange glow for evenings at home

Place a tealight in the holder and the flame shines gently through the stone, giving a warm orange light. The glow is low and steady rather than bright, which makes the holder a good choice for evenings at home, dinner tables and quiet corners of a room.

Candlelight changes the feel of a room in a way that electric light does not. The holder is at its best in the evening, when the glow stands out against a darker room and the heart shape becomes a natural focal point on a bedside table or shelf.

Where to place it

The holder works well on a bedside table, a desk or a mantelpiece, and its compact size means it fits easily into rooms that are short on space. It also sits comfortably alongside other candle holders, vases and ornaments.

The holder also works as part of a table setting for a meal with friends or family, where candlelight makes the table feel more special. As with any open flame, keep it away from curtains and draughts, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

A thoughtful gift

A candle holder in a heart shape makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday, an anniversary, a housewarming or a thank-you. The shape is easy to understand at a glance, and the holder fits into most rooms without needing a particular style of decor.

Because it is a single, self-contained piece, it is easy to wrap and easy to place, with no assembly or extra parts needed.

A note on caring for selenite

Selenite is a naturally soft stone, so handle the holder gently and keep it dry. A quick wipe with a dry, soft cloth is enough to keep the polished surface looking its best.
