Selenite is one of the few crystals that glows. When a tealight candle is placed inside this Selenite Round Tealight Candle Holder, the flame illuminates the stone's translucent layers from within, casting a warm, diffused light that feels entirely different from any other candle holder. The glow is soft and layered, moving through the stone's natural striations in a way that makes the whole piece look alive. It's functional, beautiful, and energetically active all at once.
About Selenite
Selenite is a form of gypsum crystal, specifically the variety that grows in long, striated columns with a silky, pearlescent sheen. It's named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, and its luminous quality makes that connection feel apt. Selenite is one of the most widely used crystals in energy work because it is considered self-cleansing and is said to cleanse and charge other crystals placed near or on it. It's associated with mental clarity, energetic purification, and a calm, high-vibration frequency that makes it a natural fit for meditation spaces, altars, and any room where you want to cultivate a sense of peace.
Chakra Connection
Selenite resonates with the Crown Chakra, the energy center associated with higher consciousness, spiritual connection, and mental clarity. Burning a candle through a Selenite holder fills the surrounding space with both warm light and the stone's cleansing, clarifying energy, making it an ideal addition to meditation practice, evening wind-down routines, or any space where you want to encourage calm and clarity.
How to Use Your Selenite Tealight Holder
Place a standard tealight candle in the hollow and light it to activate the stone's natural glow. Use it on your altar, meditation space, bedside table, or anywhere you want to create a calming, energetically clean atmosphere. The Selenite will passively cleanse the energy of the surrounding space as the candle burns. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and place on a heat-safe surface.

Crystal Care
Selenite is water-soluble and should never be submerged or left in water, as it will dissolve over time. Wipe clean with a dry or barely damp cloth only. Selenite does not require energetic cleansing as it is considered self-clearing, but you can place it in moonlight for a periodic reset. Handle with care as Selenite is relatively soft at Mohs 2, and can scratch or chip if dropped.
