A slate candle holder is a type of candle holder that is made out of slate, a type of metamorphic rock typically composed of clay or volcanic ash. These candle holders are often ruggedly handsome and have a natural, slightly rustic appearance that makes them perfect for use in a variety of different decor styles.
Most slate candle holders feature a flat base that can be placed on any level surface, as well as a central depression in which a candle can be placed. Some may also feature decorative engraving or carving on the outside of the holder, adding extra visual interest to the piece.
Because slate is a relatively heat-resistant material, these candle holders are both functional (since they protect your surfaces from dripping wax) and beautiful. They work well in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and even outdoor spaces, depending on the size and style of the holder.
