Crystal Tealight Holder
Black Obsidian Tealight Holder
A carved tealight holder in natural black obsidian, worked from a single piece with a polished bowl sunk into the centre to take a standard tealight. The outer edges are left rough where the stone has been cut, so the smooth hollow sits in contrast with the natural fracture running through the rim.
Obsidian is volcanic glass, formed when lava cools so quickly it sets without crystallising. This one is pitch black in the hand, with a glassy surface that throws the light back in soft highlights.
Stone: Natural black obsidian. Mined in California.
Size: Approximately 12cm across.
Use: Takes a standard tealight. Stand it on a heatproof surface, away from anything that could catch, and never leave a burning tealight unattended.
Care: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Obsidian is glass, so keep it away from hard edges and avoid sudden changes in temperature.
Rose Quartz Tealight Holder
A tealight holder worked from a single piece of natural rose quartz, with a polished bowl sunk into the centre to take a standard tealight. The outer surfaces are left as they were cut, so the smooth hollow sits against rough, crystal-faced stone that catches the light in faceted planes.
The colour runs from a soft opaque pink through to paler, almost clear sections, with warmer tones gathering around the bowl. Once the tealight is lit the stone takes on the glow, so the whole piece warms through to a deeper pink.
Stone: Natural rose quartz
Size: Approximately 12cm across.
Use: Takes a standard tealight. Stand it on a heatproof surface and away from anything that could catch. Never leave a burning tealight unattended.
Care: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from hard knocks and sudden changes in temperature.
