Tea Light Candle Holder

Tea light holders carved from natural stone. The point of a stone holder rather than a glass or metal one is what happens when you light it: thinner stone is translucent, so the flame lights the material from the inside and the banding, veining or internal cloudings become visible. Selenite and agate do this most dramatically; denser stones like jasper glow only at the edges.

Choosing one

Look at the stone first. Selenite gives the softest, whitest light and is the one people buy for a bedside or an altar. Agate slices give colour and pattern. Amethyst and quartz throw a cooler light. Each holder is cut from a single natural piece, so the pattern on the one you receive will not match the photograph — that is the nature of stone, not a defect.

All of ours take a standard tea light. Dimensions are on each product page.

Care

Let a holder cool fully before moving it. Wipe out wax with a dry cloth once cool rather than washing — several of these stones, selenite above all, are damaged by water. Never leave a lit candle unattended, and set the holder on a heat-tolerant surface.

What this is, and what it isn't

These are candle holders carved from natural stone. Crystals have a long place in tradition and in ritual practice, and that is the spirit in which we sell them. There is no peer-reviewed evidence that any stone treats, cures or prevents a medical condition, changes your finances, or alters the physical energy of a room. Nothing on this page is medical, psychological or financial advice.
