Both crystals and candles are associated with positivity, serenity, and relaxation. For this reason, crystal candles have become increasingly popular over the past few years, with many crystal lovers and candle lovers alike jumping on the trend. With this in mind, we've rounded up our favourite natural candles which are embedded with healing crystals...
What are crystal candles?
Crystal candles are candles that have embedded crystals either within them or on the surface of the wax. The idea behind these candles is that, when lit, both the candle and the crystals will amplify any intentions you make.
How do you use crystal candles?
Most crystal candle makers suggest you close your eyes, set an intention, light your candle, and imagine the candle and crystal are amplifying your positive thoughts. For best results, try setting an intention that suits the aromatherapeutic properties of the candle, and the healing properties of the candle.
Set your intentions with these crystal candles...
We love these crystal candles from Hoof and Paw (from £18). Each one is handmade in Oxfordshire, using soy wax, pure essential oils, and ethically sourced crystals.
The company creates a range of different candles for different moods and purposes, by matching crystals and scents with similar properties. For example, the Amethyst Candle is scented with a soothing blend of Lavender, Ylang Ylang & Clary Sage, because amethyst is believed to calm the mind and promote balance and peace.
If you're looking for other spiritual items, Hoof & Paw also sells a range of crystals, oracle decks, and books.

The Crystal Intention Candles from Two Libras Lifestyle (£14.95) are hand-poured using vegan-friendly soy wax. Each crystal candle is adorned with a one-of-a-kind crystal, which has been cleansed and charged on White Horse Hill, in Oxfordshire.
We love the Rose Quartz Candle, which is delicately scented with rose and features a beautiful pink crystal that is associated with love. It would make the perfect gift for a loved one!
When lighting your crystal candle for the first time, Two Libras advises that you set your intention, light your candle and let the flame radiate your aspirations around the room.

The hand-poured crystal-infused candles from Kandals & Krystals are made with vegan soy wax and pure fragrance oils. Depending on the aromatherapeutic benefits of each candle, an ethically sourced crystal with similar properties is then added on top.
We love the Black Tourmaline candle, which is scented with black cherry fragrance oil. Black Tourmaline is commonly used as a stone of protection. It is believed to promote self-confidence, diminish fear, and attract inspiration. It is also believed to dispel the negative energy surrounding you.

The crystal candles from Quartz Queen Candles (£7) come in super-cute small tins. They make the perfect token gift to let someone know you're thinking about them. Each natural candle is made using eco-friendly soy wax, fragrance oils, dried florals, healing crystals, and a shimmer of glitter.
We love the Citrine Candle, which is scented with Ylang Ylang and Bergamot. Citrine is often associated with health, wealth and happiness. The sunny yellow colour, combined with this candle's citrus scent, is also sure to give your mood a positive boost.
