Gemstone Halo Lamp - 7 Chakra - 7 Gems

• The stones are left raw, with faceted, angular edges, so the light breaks into soft planes of colour instead of a single flat glow.
• The colours run in sequence around the ring: red and orange at the base, yellow and green up the left side, with deeper violet on the right and pale, milky stones at the top.
• Stones of this kind vary in banding and clarity, so each lamp is a little different.
• The slim iron ring frames the stones like a picture, and the open centre lets the wall behind show through.
• A thin black cable trails from the base, which sits flat on a shelf, desk or bedside table.

The lamp brings together seven varieties of natural gemstone, one for each colour of the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The arrangement echoes the seven chakras of the yogic tradition, where each of the body's energy centres is paired with a colour. People who work with that system often keep a piece like this nearby as a visual reminder when they meditate or set an intention. Here, the ring is a quiet way to bring that symbolism into the room.

The ring and base are iron, finished in matt black, which keeps the focus on the stones. The gemstones are set into the ring and lit from behind, so they glow instead of sparkling. Rough stone is irregular by nature, so expect small differences in shape, colour and placement from the lamp pictured.

This is ambient, decorative light. It suits a bedside, a desk, a shelf or a quiet corner in the evening, but it isn't meant to light a room for reading. Wipe it only when dry, using a soft cloth or brush, and keep it away from damp rooms such as bathrooms. Handle the stones gently, as raw gemstone can chip at its edges.

Lamps of this type usually run on a fitted cable with a small inline switch, and the plug fitting (UK three-pin or EU two-pin) and power details vary by item. Check the listing and the box for the exact plug and any bulb or power specification before use. As with any lit lamp, it may feel gently warm after a while, which is normal.

It suits someone drawn to crystals, colour or meditation, or anyone who likes an object that works as both ornament and soft light. As a housewarming or birthday present, it needs no explanation beyond the colours.
