Full details
This 20 cm Selenite Cylinder Candle Holder is an ideal choice for interior design enthusiasts and those interested in holistic wellness who want to create a calming, ambient atmosphere in their living spaces or meditation corners. Crafted from authentic translucent selenite, it serves as a beautiful decor piece that provides a soft, diffused glow when paired with a candle; however, because it is a natural mineral, the stone is relatively soft and requires careful handling to avoid surface scratches or damage from moisture.

FAQs
Can I wash the candle holder with water?
No. Selenite is water-soluble and will be damaged or dissolve if it comes into contact with water.
What type of candle should I use?
A standard tea light or a small votive candle is recommended for the best balance of light and safety.
Will the stone get hot when in use?
The stone may become warm to the touch during use, but it should not become dangerously hot if a small, properly sized candle is used.
Is the candle holder heavy?
Selenite is a crystal, so it has a moderate weight that provides good stability, though it should still be placed on a secure surface.
Can I use this for outdoor decoration?
It is not recommended, as exposure to rain, dew, or high humidity can degrade the stone.
Why does my candle holder look different from the photos?
Each piece is crafted from natural selenite, which features unique vein patterns, raw edges, and slight variations in clarity.
Troubleshooting
The candle flame flickers or goes out.
Ensure the candle is centered and that there is sufficient airflow reaching the top of the cylinder.
Surface of the selenite looks dull.
Gently wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust buildup.
Visible white powder or residue near the base.
This is natural shedding from the crystal; simply brush away carefully with a soft brush.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Creates a gentle, soothing light suitable for meditation or relaxation
- Each piece has unique, natural variations in appearance
- Elegant, minimalist design complements various interior styles
- Functions as both a functional candle holder and a decorative home ornament
Cons
- Selenite is a soft mineral and can be easily scratched or chipped

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your holder, simply place it on a level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure that the candle used is sized appropriately for the cylinder’s interior diameter to prevent excessive heat buildup directly against the crystal walls.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to dust the surface. Avoid using water, soap, or chemical cleaners as selenite is water-soluble and will dissolve or degrade if exposed to moisture.
- Handling: Handle with care to prevent chipping the rough edges.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, low-humidity environment to maintain the longevity of the crystal.
