{"product_id":"gemstone-halo-lamp-air-clear-quartz-selenite","title":"Gemstone Halo Lamp - Air - Clear Quartz \u0026 Selenite","description":"\u003cp\u003eA black circular frame holds a small ring of raw, clear quartz pieces, with pale selenite bars crossing the centre to form the alchemical symbol for Air: an upward triangle cut through by a horizontal line. Lit from within, the stone glows a soft, cool white. It is a lamp made to be looked at as much as switched on, a calm, contemporary piece for a shelf, desk or bedside.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe selenite bars carry the light along their length, so the triangle reads as a luminous line drawing rather than a solid shape.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRough, uncut quartz pieces sit around the inside of the ring, each catching the glow at a slightly different angle and clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe matte black frame and round black base keep the silhouette graphic and simple, letting the stone take the attention.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA black cable trails from the base, so it sits best where a socket is within easy reach.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt stands upright on its own, a small piece of sculpture that happens to give light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eForm and light\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is deliberately open. Rather than hiding the light behind a solid block, the circle frames it, and the quartz and selenite are lit from behind and within. Selenite is naturally translucent and fibrous, which is why it glows so evenly. Expect an ambient, decorative light that softens a corner rather than lighting a whole room.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe symbol of Air\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn alchemy, each of the four classical elements has its own triangle. Air is drawn as an upward-pointing triangle crossed by a horizontal bar, and it is this figure that the selenite forms at the centre of the lamp. The name selenite comes from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, which is where the stone's moonlit association comes from. Clear quartz, meanwhile, has long been valued in many traditions as a stone of clarity, and here it makes a fitting, bright border for the symbol.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaterials and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp is made from gemstone and iron: natural clear quartz and selenite set into an iron frame and base. Because it is natural stone, each piece of quartz will differ in size and shape from the next lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelenite is a form of gypsum and is water-soluble, so keep this lamp away from damp, steam and humidity, and never wash or soak it. A bathroom or kitchen is not the place for it. The stone is also very soft (about 2 on the Mohs scale, so a fingernail can scratch it), which makes it more delicate than it looks. Clean it only when dry, with a soft brush or cloth, and handle the selenite bars gently.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet it on a level, stable surface such as a sideboard, console or desk, ideally where it will not be knocked. It works especially well in softly lit rooms in the evening, where the pale glow stands out. Lamps of this kind are usually supplied with a fitted cable and an inline switch, and typically use a small bulb that can warm slightly in use, which is normal. The exact bulb, whether one is included, and the plug fitting vary by item, so we suggest checking the listing and the box when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA considered gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits someone who likes crystals as objects to live with, enjoys symbolism in their home, or wants a quiet, contemporary light for a reading corner or a desk. It is also a good housewarming gift for a person who already collects stone and mineral pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I keep it in the bathroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Selenite dissolves slowly in water and dulls in humidity, so keep it in a dry room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it light up a whole room?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. It gives a soft, ambient glow, intended as a decorative accent rather than a main light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOnly when dry, using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid water and cleaning sprays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look exactly like the photo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe frame, symbol and layout will match, but the raw quartz pieces are natural, so their shapes and clarity vary slightly from lamp to lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67616727367994,"sku":"GemHL-01","price":34.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/gemstone-halo-lamp-air-clear-quartz-selenite-cover.png?v=1790953122","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/gemstone-halo-lamp-air-clear-quartz-selenite","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
