I like to light a beeswax tea light when I do my meditative reading and sitting. I like the onyx feel better than the ceramic holder I had before, and it is more subdued than glass holders. The eight-pointed star is an interesting design choice, which I am enjoying.
The gentle light cast by this is perfect to create an intimate calming atmosphere. Especially effective when displayed in multiples. Buy more than one - you won't be sorry!
My mother in law died after being on hospice for several months. I purchased these exquisite candle holders for family members to light on special holidays in her memory. The workmanship is excellent and they were so well wrapped. They look especially pretty when the candle is burning!
