- Use it where you want usable light - the cone sends more light down than a sphere or dome, giving a pool on the surface below as well as a warm glow. More practical over a counter than a purely decorative shade.
- Note the hand-sanded finish - the stone is sanded after shaping so the light spreads evenly rather than showing bright and dim patches.
- Use one alone or several in a row - two or three about 24 inches apart over an island, ordered together for matching tones.
- Use a warm 2700K bulb with a dimmer, then hardwire to a ceiling box by a licensed electrician.
A conical alabaster shade on brass
This pendant sets a conical alabaster shade on a brass fitting, the stone sanded in the traditional way so it diffuses light evenly and softly. The cone shape directs the light gently downward while the stone itself glows, which makes it a clean, versatile drop for a counter or a table.
At just over six inches across it is a compact fixture, right alone or in a row.

A cone directs light downward
The conical shape sends more of the light down than a sphere or a dome would, so it gives a usable pool on the surface below as well as a warm glow from the stone. That makes it more practical over a counter or a reading spot than a purely decorative shade.
Hand-sanded for even diffusion
The alabaster is sanded by hand after it is shaped, which smooths the surface so the light spreads evenly rather than showing bright and dim patches. It is a finishing step that separates a well-made stone shade from a rough one.
One or several
A single cone works over a counter or a small table; for an island, run two or three about 24 inches apart and order them together so the alabaster tones match. A warm 2700K bulb and a dimmer suit the clean shape.
Installation
Hardwired to a ceiling box by a licensed electrician, with the 59 inch wire cut to length on the day.
