Amethyst Blossom Votive Holder

Comments about Amethyst Blossom Votive Holder:

I love Amethyst and thought this would be really pretty with light from a candle reflecting off the crystals. I guess I was expecting a single multifaceted crystal that was craved & polished, but instead it's a bunch of very small crystals that have been glued together. You can see the glue between each crystal and it looks like glue may have dripped on the polished crystals cause they are very dull looking.
Oh well, another donation to the Smithsonian I guess.

very unique, beautiful crystals, and lovely to look at.

I did not realize this product was individual crystals bonded together; I do not know how durable it will be. I was hoping / assuming it was cut from one stone. Nonetheless, it is very attractive, and each is a one-of-a-kind (I purchased 3.) Standard tea candles fit perfectly.

This is an attractive decorative piece, but quite honestly, one could find a similar item at other specialty stores for a bit less- especially in this cost-conscious economy. Nonetheless, I thought it was both unique and pretty and have it in my living room. A small, insertable votive fits nicely into the holder. It does have a very nice glow when lit!

Since amethyst is my birthstone, I am thrilled to have this in my living room. I have a battery operated tealight in it so it is on all night. Beautiful.

Great addition to own house or as gift, esp wedding gift.

When I took it out of the box, the bottom fell off. The separate piece and the bottom of the item are both sticky -- but not sticky enough to stay together. Additionally, all of the amethyst crystals are somewhat loosely attached -- they can be moved. I thought it was a solid crystalline object, not a glued together construction. I will attempt to reattach the two pieces. I agree with the other reviewer--if it is not handled, it will be acceptable. It is not quite as nice as I had hoped. I reccently lost my husband, whose birthday was in February--birthstone==amethyst. I thought it would be a nice remembrance. I am a Smithsonian member, and I was very disappointed. It makes me wonder if the product was quality checked before it was made available for purchase.

Additionally, all of the amethyst crystals are somewhat loosely attached -- they can be moved. I thought it was a solid crystalline object, not a glued together construction. I am a model builder and thus have a number of adhesives on hand. I think I can reattach the bottom and, if it is not handled, it will be acceptable. It is to be a gift -- but not quite as nice a gift as I had hoped. [...]
