Care Instructions

Selenite is a naturally soft mineral and should be kept away from water and prolonged moisture. Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth. Handle with care to avoid scratches or chips.

Satin Spar Selenite measures approximately 2 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it relatively delicate and susceptible to scratching, chipping, and surface damage.

• Keep Completely Dry: Avoid soaking, rinsing, or prolonged exposure to water and humidity.

• Clean Gently: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or soft-bristled brush to remove dust.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, acidic solutions, or household cleaning products.

• Protect the Surface: Handle carefully to preserve the polished finish and delicate carved details.

• Use LED Tea Lights: Battery-operated LED tea lights are recommended to illuminate the holder without exposing the stone to direct flame or excessive heat.

• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep away from excessive heat, sudden temperature changes, and direct contact with open flames.

Important Candle Safety: Although the holder is designed for tea lights, the stone's heat tolerance and the suitability of its cavity for a burning candle have not been independently verified. For safety, use a flameless LED tea light rather than a real flame.

Disclaimer

Natural Stone Disclaimer: Because each crystal is formed naturally, slight variations in color, texture, shape, fibrous patterns, translucency, and surface characteristics make every piece uniquely beautiful. These natural characteristics are not considered defects.

Mineral Information Disclaimer: Satin Spar Selenite is a fibrous variety of Gypsum commonly sold under the commercial name Selenite. It shares the same mineral composition as transparent Selenite crystals but displays a distinctive silky, fibrous appearance.

Candle Safety Disclaimer: Use of a battery-operated LED tea light is recommended. Natural gypsum is sensitive to heat, and direct flame exposure may damage the stone. Do not place burning candles directly against the mineral or leave any lit candle unattended.
