Selenite Cylinder Tealight Holder is a smooth, rounded cylinder of white selenite with a shallow well carved into the top, sized to hold a standard tealight candle. The stone is white to colourless with a soft, chalky lustre, and the rounded silhouette tapers gently at the top and base.
Selenite is prized for clarity and focus, with a calming quality that settles a scattered mind. It's also known for its self-cleansing nature and is commonly used to cleanse other crystals placed nearby, and the soft glow of a tealight through the stone suits meditation, a bedside altar, or simply setting a calm mood in a room.

Geological Information
Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, a calcium sulfate mineral, forming in sedimentary environments where mineral-rich water evaporates and deposits fibrous layers that solidify into translucent masses. It rates 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, soft enough to be scratched with a fingernail. Thin selenite slabs were once used as window material in ancient Mesopotamia and Rome before glass became widely available, and the stone's name derives from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. This piece is sourced from Morocco, the primary commercial source for retail selenite.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
Selenite is water soluble and will be permanently damaged by moisture. Keep dry, never rinse or soak it, and do not use it in water elixirs. It is also very soft (Mohs 2 to 2.5) and scratches easily, so handle gently and store away from harder stones.
