Egyptian Real Alabaster Stone/Marble Candle Holder Votive

So beautiful. A perfect size for what I needed. It’s a thick, sturdy candle holder, exactly what it should be with a warm and soothing amber color. I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Beautiful alabaster. You need to put a tealight in it to appreciate the beauty. Just lovely, great ambiance.

Gorgeous! It's even better quality in person. Would buy again.

Like others have noted, it doesn’t really have much of a pattern. I guess you are lucky if you get one that looks like the seller’s image. I have two other alabaster candles from other sellers and one of them is also pretty plain. Even so, the seller does disclose that this is a natural stone and each will look different. Just wish they’d show a range of examples in the photos. That said, I do love this holder and it still casts a lovely glow even with an LED votive.

Alabaster is something that Egypt is known for. They make statues out of it. In the Bible there's even a mention of alabaster oil. Which was very expensive oil that was poured from an alabaster jar. I like how sturdy it is. Despite its slick, polished look, It has excellent brightness. I use a low lighting level at night, And it fits right in. Be aware that this one is a bit on the hefty side. However for the amount of money that you're going to get you're getting a very beautiful piece. It's well worth it.

I have five of these and I really like them. The quality of the Alabaster is very fine, and they are highly polished. I read some complaints about the color, do not expect them to all look the same. Alabaster is a mineral and each piece will have its own unique striations. I have some with many striations that look beautiful in daylight when not burning, I also received a couple with few or no variations in color, personally I find these very attractive also, I love the look and feel of fine quality Alabaster. That being said when burning in a dark room they all look great especially the ones that have no color variation. When burning a non colored tea light which is what I recommend the candle holders have a warm milky glow that is very pleasing. I have some smaller alabaster holders from another vender that look murky orange when burning with the same tea lights, I think the quality of the stone is not as good or maybe its just from a different location.I did receive one that got chipped in shipping I think because the chipped piece was inside the holder when I opened the box, that said this vender also gets 5 stars for customer service as they replaced it with no expense to me, they also offered a refund which I declined as I preferred a replacement. I really like these and the vender stands behind their product. I just ordered another.

Beautiful & heavy. We saw these while in Egypt and ordered them when we got home. Nicely packaged

I purchased because the yellow was attractive and interesting. What I got was all white. Very bland. Re read the caveats about natural product and differences to be expected. Yeah, but these differences are stark - different product in my opinion.

This piece came nicely packaged by the seller, however Amazon packed the box in an envelope. Surprisingly it was in tact. Since this is natural stone there are variations, and while I was a bit disappointed it didn’t look exactly like the one in the ad, it’s still gorgeous - especially when lit up.

just like the picture, glows well when keeping led light inside.

Preciosa artesanía de Egipto. Sin encender se ve blanco. La piedra de alabastro es rara y bella. Estoy muy ontenta.

J'ai eu un unité avec de belle stiures!!Produit de qualité !!Recommandé

I purchased a smaller one earlier and was so impressed with the beauty and workmanship that I purchased this slightly larger one to complement the smaller one. At night when the candle glow through it is absolutely stunning.
