Gemstone Halo Lamp - Fire - Carnelian & Selenite

Made in China Ships from the UK

A black circular frame holds a ring of raw carnelian, each piece glowing amber-orange from behind, with three pale selenite bars forming an upward triangle at the centre. Lit, it reads as a small piece of sculpture first and a lamp second: warm, low and a little ceremonial, the kind of light that suits a quiet corner in the evening.

About this product

What you'll notice
  • The carnelian pieces are left rough and uneven, so the light picks out every facet, from deep burnt orange to a lighter, honeyed edge.
  • The selenite bars have a soft, milky translucency, with fine striations running along their length that catch the glow.
  • The triangle sits open in the middle of the circle, so the shape is clear even from across the room.
  • A matte black frame and a round, flat base keep the look clean and let the stones carry the colour.
  • The cable trails neatly from the back of the base, which lets the lamp sit flush against a wall or shelf.
Stone, iron and light

The lamp combines gemstone with an iron frame. Carnelian is a translucent orange stone, which is why it glows so readily when lit from behind. Selenite is a form of gypsum, and its fibrous structure scatters light into a gentle, even shimmer. Because every carnelian piece is natural and unpolished, no two lamps will match exactly in shade or shape.

Living with it

Place it on a console, bedside table or shelf where it won't be knocked, and where the glow can do its work in low light. This is ambient, decorative lighting rather than a lamp to read by.

Selenite is water-soluble and very soft, so keep the lamp well away from damp. It doesn't belong in a bathroom or kitchen, and it should never be washed or soaked. Humidity dulls and clouds the surface over time. Clean it only when dry, with a soft brush or cloth, and handle the bars gently, as a fingernail can scratch them and they split along their natural cleavage.

Lamps like this usually run on a small-screw bulb and have an inline on/off switch on the cable, but the exact bulb, whether one is included and the plug fitting (UK or EU) vary by item, so check the listing or box before you plug it in. Any bulb that gives off warmth will make the lamp gently warm to the touch, which is normal.

The symbol at its centre

The triangle pointing upward is the traditional alchemical symbol for Fire, which is why it sits among carnelian's flame-coloured stones. Selenite takes its name from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, a nod to the pale, moonlike glow it gives off. Fire in the stones and the moon in the bars: the pairing is a deliberate piece of design, and an easy talking point.

A gift with presence

It suits someone who likes objects with a story behind them, whether that's a collector of crystals, a lover of symbolism or anyone building a calm, warm corner at home. It looks finished the moment it is switched on.

Common questions

Is the carnelian polished?
No. The pieces are natural and rough, which is what gives the lamp its faceted, varied glow.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. Selenite dissolves and clouds with moisture, so keep the lamp somewhere dry.
How do I clean it?
Only when dry, using a soft brush or a dry cloth. Avoid water and cleaning sprays.
Will it light a whole room?
No, it gives a soft, decorative glow suited to evenings and low light, so pair it with other lighting if you need to see clearly.
