FAQs
Can I use this candle holder outdoors?
It is not recommended. Selenite is a soft crystal that can be damaged by moisture, humidity, and rain.
Will the crystal get hot to the touch?
Selenite can become warm near the flame, but it generally dissipates heat well. Always use caution when moving the holder after a candle has been burning.
Is every candle holder exactly the same?
No. Because these are crafted from natural selenite, each piece will feature unique, organic rough edges and stone patterns.
What is the best way to clean the inside of the holder?
Use a soft, dry brush or a compressed air canister to blow out any debris or soot from the interior.
Can I use a larger pillar candle?
Only if the diameter is smaller than the internal opening of the cylinder. Ensure there is enough space between the flame and the crystal walls to prevent overheating.
Troubleshooting
The candle is difficult to remove after burning.
Ensure the candle is fully extinguished and the wax has cooled completely. If wax has dripped inside, use a wooden tool to gently scrape the solid wax out without scratching the crystal.
The holder looks dull or dusty.
Gently wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water as selenite is water-soluble.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your holder, simply place your chosen candle into the center of the cylinder. Ensure the candle is small enough to fit within the internal diameter while remaining stable.
Compatibility:
- Use standard tea lights or small diameter pillar candles.
- Avoid oversized candles that generate high heat close to the crystal walls.
Care Instructions:
- Keep Dry: Never submerge the crystal in water. Use only a soft, dry microfiber cloth to dust the surface.
- Avoid Cleaning Chemicals: Harsh detergents or glass cleaners will damage the natural crystal structure.
- Stability: Place on a level surface to prevent the cylindrical base from shifting.
- Handling: Pick up the holder from the bottom base rather than the top edges to prevent the risk of dropping or damaging the natural stone.
