Selenite in a Circle of Candlelight
Milky white with soft cream areas, this selenite candle holder has a moon-pale palette. Its name comes from Selene, the Greek moon goddess, recalling the pale, moon-like reflection this crystal family can show.
The roughly cube-shaped outline has softened, uneven edges, while fine, mostly vertical striations mark the sides. Scattered rough-looking patches give the surface a varied texture. A circular recess interrupts the square top. It is intended for a small tea light or LED tea light.
Those pale tones suggest a tiny imagined luminous cavern, its entrance brightened by fire: a warm circle of light within a milky square.
