Selenite Candle Holder Cylinder 15 cm

• The translucent crystal lets the flame flicker gently through the walls, softening the light rather than hiding it.
• Whiter areas and natural striations give each piece a frosted, moonlit look.
• The rough edges keep the crystal feeling raw and earthy, while the polished top adds a cleaner finish.
• The flat underside helps it sit neatly on a level surface for a steady evening ritual.
• Its vertical cylinder shape brings height and calm focus to a mantelpiece, meditation corner or dinner setting.

This holder is made from selenite, a form of gypsum loved for its satin lustre and soft translucency. It comes from Morocco, where the pale crystal is shaped into a simple cylinder while keeping some of its natural roughness at the edges.

Because selenite forms with natural variation, each holder will differ slightly in tone, markings and edge texture. Some pieces appear clearer, while others show more cloudy white banding.

Use it on a flat, stable surface, away from curtains, papers and anything that may catch heat or flame. Let the holder cool before moving it, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

It suits indoor styling best, especially places where the glow can be seen from the side. A console table, quiet reading corner or bedside shelf lets the crystal catch low evening light beautifully.

Selenite is very soft, around Mohs 2, and can be scratched by a fingernail. It also dislikes water, damp and humidity, so do not wash it, soak it or keep it in a bathroom.

Clean only when dry, using a soft cloth or a gentle brush. Handle it with care, as selenite can split along its natural lines if knocked.

In contemporary crystal practice, selenite is often associated with clarity, stillness and the upper chakras, especially the crown chakra. Its name is linked with the moon in Greek tradition, which fits its pale glow and softly luminous surface. Here, that symbolism stays simple and visual: a quiet crystal form for marking a pause in the day, lighting a candle, and letting the room settle into slower light.
