Candle Holder with Crystal Holes

Two collections brought together in one object: the candle and the stones. The body of this holder is pierced with openings, and the intent of the design is plain from the shape, with a place for a candle at its centre and settings arranged around it where tumbled crystals and small points can be shown off instead of living in a drawer. It belongs on an altar shelf, a bedside table, a windowsill or a meditation corner, and it answers a real problem for anyone who collects crystals, which is that they accumulate far faster than places to put them. The openings also give the silhouette something to do during daylight hours, when nothing is burning. The release comes as more than one file and makes a straightforward gift for a friend whose shelves already lean towards the ritual end of home decoration.
