What are Crystal Candles exactly?

Crystal candles are a type of scented candle that contain crystals inside the wax. This allows for the decorative element of a candle, as well as create an aromatherapy experience through scent and natural crystal energy.

Crystal candles are generally available in various sizes, scents, and shapes. Crystal candles also come with an element of surprise in that they contain crystals that are slowly revealed as the wax burns away – which add to their beauty and your enjoyment of them.

Crystal candle benefits

Crystal candles are said to emit negative ions, which bind to dust and allergens, purifying the air.

Chic & Raw's Root Chakra Candle contains a genuine cultured Ruby (Red Corundum). Rubies are associated with spiritual wisdom, protection, vitality and strength. You can use this candle to cleanse negative energy and for new beginnings. If you are feeling blocked in any part of your life or desiring auspiciousness for new endeavours, this candle supports these occasions.

Increase positive vibrations

Crystal candles also have a calming effect on the mind and body, making them perfect for use in any room of the house with their positive vibrations helping you connect with your higher self.

Chic & Raw's Nabhi Chakra candle contains two Green Aventurine Crystals. Green Aventurine is thought to be the luckiest of all crystals, supporting positive energy and helping attract luck, weath and abundance into our lives. Use as a house-warming or a new home candle. Burn this candle when desiring better domestic relationships and prosperity for the family. Good to use in family living spaces such as the living room and dining rooms.

Crystal candles also can be used as a daily reminder to create a mindful meditation practice. Every time you light your candle, you can use it as a tool to focus your thoughts, becoming mindful of the present moment. Crystal candles are said to have a healing effect on the body and mind through this process.

Chic & Raw's Third Eye Chakra candle contains a Clear Quartz and a Black Obsidian Crystal. This unique crystal combination reflects the Yin and Yang quality of the Third Eye Chakra - also known as the Agnya or Brow Chakra. The crystal energies support the opening of this narrow chakra to release its qualities of forgiveness and being in the present moment (thoughtless awareness).

Black Obsidian is a stone of truth and protection. It removes negativity and confusion, bringing clarity to the mind. This supports the opening of the third eye, revealing the ego and super ego and expanding the consciousness.

Clear Quartz is the supreme healing crystal bringing mental clarity, emotional stability and unlocking the memory. It is a perfect balance for the yin and yang of the Third Eye chakra where the channels of the sympathetic nervous system connect.

Cleansing the crystals

Simply put the crystal candle outside or on a windowsill in the sunshine or full moonlight to recharge! But what do you do if there’s no sunshine, which happens often in the UK?! Read our journal post to find out.
