Natural Riverstone Candle Holder – Standing Stone Cut (10x13x22cm)

A candle holder carved from a single piece of natural riverstone, cut to stand upright like a standing stone. The flat top is hollowed to hold a tealight, while the sides retain the raw, water-smoothed surface of the original stone. At 10 x 13 x 22cm, it has real presence on a shelf or table — a piece of river-shaped geology that happens to hold a candle. What Sets It Apart The standing stone cut gives this holder a vertical, sculptural quality — it looks like a miniature menhir rather than a typical squat candle holder, making it a focal point rather than a background accessory. Every piece is genuinely unique. The stone's colour, veining, and surface texture are shaped by the river it came from — no two holders share the same markings. The weight of solid stone gives it a stability and permanence that glass or ceramic holders can't match. It sits firmly on any surface without a felt pad or additional base. When lit, the tealight flame casts a warm glow across the stone's natural surface, highlighting the grain and texture in ways that only become visible by candlelight. River Stone from Central Java Sourced from rivers in Central Java, Indonesia, where stones are collected and shaped by hand. The exterior retains its natural, water-worn surface — smoothed over years by the current. The interior is cut and hollowed to create a stable seat for a standard tealight candle. The stone is dense and heavy for its size, with colour ranging from light grey to dark charcoal depending on the individual piece. Dimensions are approximately 10 x 13 x 22cm, though natural variation means each holder differs slightly in exact proportions. Lighting and Care Place a standard tealight candle in the hollowed top and light. The stone will absorb some heat from the flame, so allow it to cool before handling after use. To clean, wipe with a warm, damp cloth — no chemicals needed. Over time, a faint wax residue may build up in the hollow; scrape gently with a blunt edge or pour
