That is the entire fixture: no shade, no diffuser, no visible hardware below the cap. Just stone and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlabaster is translucent, so the light does not sit on the surface — it travels \u003cstrong\u003ethrough\u003c\/strong\u003e the stone, picking up the veining as it goes. Lit, the capsule glows from within like a piece of backlit marble, the grain showing dark against the warm core. Unlit, it reads as a pale polished stone column. Every piece is cut from natural material, so the veining, the cloudiness, and the pattern of warm and pale zones differ in every single one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNarrow is the point\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnly 2.4 inches wide.\u003c\/strong\u003e This fits where a conventional pendant cannot — a tight bedside, a narrow island, the gap beside a mirror, a run down a stairwell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine alabaster, not resin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Real translucent stone with its own veining, lit from within.

A row of three or five over a kitchen island, spaced 14 to 20 inches apart — closer than you would space a normal pendant, because each one is so narrow. A cluster at staggered heights in a stairwell. Or a single one over a console or in a powder room, where the stone is close enough to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the base of the capsule 30 to 36 inches above a counter, or at roughly seated shoulder height beside a bed. Because the stone is the light source, hang it where people will be near it — the veining is the whole point and it is invisible from across a large room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is the Capsula and what does it cost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.4 inches in diameter and 12.2 inches tall (60 x 310 mm), not counting the suspension. $490 USD in either finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the alabaster real stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each capsule is cut from natural alabaster, a translucent stone that carries light through its own veining. Because it is a natural material, the colour, cloudiness, and grain vary from piece to piece — yours will not be an exact match for the photograph, and two hung side by side will not match each other. That variation is the material, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat finishes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo: Sand Nickel, an electroplated satin grey, and Black, a coated matte. The alabaster is the same natural stone in both; only the aluminium cap changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bulb does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn E14 small screw-base bulb. E14 is smaller than the E26 and E27 bases common in North America; in the United States, E12 candelabra bulbs are the closest widely stocked equivalent, and we can confirm fit for your installation. Choose 2700K warm white — alabaster's warmth disappears under cool white light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I hang several together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is the best use of this fixture. At only 2.4 inches wide you can run three or five in a line over an island, spaced 14 to 20 inches apart — much closer than a conventional pendant. Each needs its own ceiling outlet unless they are mounted from a shared linear canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill they all look the same if I buy several?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Each capsule is cut from natural stone, so a row of them will show different veining from piece to piece. Most people hang them together precisely for that reason, but if you want closely matched pieces, tell us when you order and we will do our best to select them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it dimmable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimming depends on the bulb. A dimmable LED on a compatible wall dimmer will dim — and it is worth doing, because at low levels the veining in the stone becomes far more visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean alabaster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust with a dry, soft cloth only. Never use water, vinegar, or household cleaners — alabaster is porous and acid-sensitive, and liquid cleaners will leave permanent marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an indoor fixture. Alabaster is a porous natural stone that stains and degrades in damp conditions, so keep it away from direct shower exposure and any outdoor or covered exterior location.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malane Lighting","offers":[{"title":"Sand Nickel \/ Ø2.4\" x H12.2\" (60 x 310 mm)","offer_id":67620618567955,"sku":"ML-CAPS-60-SNK","price":490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Ø2.4\" x H12.2\" (60 x 310 mm)","offer_id":67620618600723,"sku":"ML-CAPS-60-BLK","price":490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/9837\/9539\/files\/eb4c19b68aa355a88f4f3275908f8cf6.jpg?v=1791332444","url":"https:\/\/www.malanedecor.com\/products\/capsula-pendant-light","provider":"Malane Decor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
