Selenite – candlelight 2

Selenite, Moonlight with a Golden Heart

This selenite candle holder has milky white to pale grey sides, with translucent-looking areas. Its tall cylindrical outline rises to a circular rim around a round recessed opening. It is intended for a small tea light or LED tea light.

Fine vertical streaks give the sides a delicate rhythm, interrupted by irregular whitish patches and narrow reflective highlights. Translucent-looking areas lend variety to the pale surface, inviting the eye to follow each slender line upward towards the rim.

Selenite takes its name from Selene, the Greek moon goddess, recalling the pale, moon-like reflection this crystal can show. That lunar connection suggests a small imagined garden: silvered terraces stepping through the darkness, their cool outlines gathered around a single golden flame.
