What's the most important thing to know about keeping crystals happy?
The most important thing to remember is that crystals absorb energy, so keeping them “happy” simply means keeping their energy clear, refreshed, and aligned with your space. When you take a moment to cleanse and recharge them, you help them work at their best.

Why do people use crystals?

People use crystals for more than just decoration; they’re often chosen for mindfulness, intention-setting, emotional balance, and creating a calming atmosphere.

How can I best use the crystals I get from you?

 

Carry them by slipping a small crystal into a pocket, purse, or bag for daily support.

Display them intentionally by placing crystals on a nightstand, desk, altar, or shelf to bring good energy into a space.

Use them during self‑care, hold a crystal while journaling, meditating, or relaxing with one of your handmade candles.

Set an intention by holding the crystal, take a breath, and mentally choose what you want it to help you with.

Pair them with selenite; every box includes a small selenite piece perfect for cleansing and recharging the other crystals.

 

 

How do you recharge crystals?
Keeping your crystals energetically clear is simple, and a little bit of regular care helps them stay vibrant and supportive. Here are the most reliable, safe methods anyone can use:

Selenite: Place your crystals on or near a selenite stick or plate for 24 hours. Selenite naturally clears and recharges other stones, and it’s safe for every crystal.

Moonlight: Set your crystals on a windowsill during a full moon or overnight. Moonlight gently refreshes their energy.

Smoke Cleansing: Pass your crystals through the smoke of incense, herbs, or a cleansing bundle (such as White Sage or Palo Santo). This helps release stagnant energy.

Sound Cleansing: Use a singing bowl, tuning fork, or even a gentle chime. Sound vibrations help reset the crystal’s energy field.

Intention: Hold your crystal, take a deep breath, and mentally release any energy it no longer needs. Your intention alone is powerful.

Are there any methods to avoid?

Some crystals are delicate, porous, or contain metals that react to certain elements. To keep them safe:

Avoid water for soft or water-sensitive crystals. Stones like selenite, malachite, calcite, pyrite, and lapis can dissolve, rust, or become damaged.

Avoid harsh exposure to sunlight, which can fade certain crystals over time. Crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, citrine, and fluorite. 

Avoid chemical cleaners, oils, or cleaning sprays; these can damage their surface. 

What are your special tips for crystal care?
Trust your intuition, the crystal you’re drawn to is usually the one you need. Set a simple intention, hold your crystal, and focus on what you want it to support. Keep them where you’ll see them on a nightstand, desk, or in your bag for daily good energy. Let them rest on selenite, which naturally cleanses and recharges your crystals (and every box includes one).

How do I clean the wax off the crystal chips once the candle is finished?

Crystal Cleaning and Candle Care

Cleaning your crystal chips is incredibly easy since our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax, which dissolves smoothly in warm, soapy water. 

Option 1: Remove crystals before lighting

  1. Use a spoon or tweezers to gently dig the crystals out before lighting.

  2. Or light the candle briefly so the top layer melts, blow it out, then remove the crystals with a spoon or tweezers.

  3. Place crystals on a paper towel to absorb excess wax.

  4. Soak crystals in warm to hot soapy water in a heat‑safe bowl for a few minutes.

  5. Gently rub to remove remaining wax, rinse, and dry with a clean towel or paper towel.

Option 2 Leave crystals in while burning

  1. If you leave crystals in the candle, push them toward the outer edge as the wax melts so they don’t fall into the flame or extinguish the wick.

  2. If a crystal moves to the center and puts out the wick, blow out the candle and reposition the crystal before relighting.

  3. After the candle is finished, pour warm to hot soapy water into the tin and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen wax.

  4. Remove the crystals, gently rub off remaining wax, rinse, and dry.

  5. Remove the wick tab and wash the tin if you plan to reuse it.

Drying and Storing

  • Rinse crystals thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

  • Recharge crystals by placing them on the included selenite stick for 24 hours.

  • Store recharged crystals in the reusable candle tin or a safe display spot.

Safety Notes

  • Not a toy. Crystals are small and can be a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.

  • Use caution with hot water and melted wax to avoid burns.

  • If you plan to reuse crystals in another candle, ensure they are fully clean and dry before placing them in fresh wax.
