Selenite – candlelight heart red

The Warm Curves of the Selenite Heart

Salmon-orange colour gives this selenite candle holder its warmth, while pale whitish streaks and scattered flecks lend the surface a softly varied pattern. Highlights trace the rounded upper lobes, shallow notch and pointed lower end, with a circular recess near the centre.

In a little imagined observatory, that central circle could become a telescope’s round window, with the fine streaks suggesting paths across a sunset sky. The heart’s curves keep this miniature world from feeling too orderly; they soften the circle into something playful and welcoming, a small orange horizon threaded with pale lines.

Use a suitable small candle or LED tea light on a stable, heat-safe surface away from flammable materials; never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep the holder dry and wipe it with a dry cloth.
