AD/PR Products – Some of these products have been gifted to me in exchange for a blog post. This doesn’t affect my opinion of them, you can find my disclaimer here.
I am a big candle and crystal lover and have been for many years. Some of you may not know this, but I studied Geology as one of my A-Levels so I learnt how crystals were formed. Very interesting stuff! As well as that, I have been really interested in the healing qualities that crystals have, especially when my mental health was really suffering. Recently, I have become a little bit obsessed with candles & wax melts 🙈 I can’t seem to stop buying them! In today’s post, I’m going to be sharing a crystal-infused candle with you, along with the benefits of candles and crystals.
What is a crystal-infused candle?
Also known as a gem candle, crystal candle, intentional candle (created for a purpose). A crystal-infused candle is a candle that has one or more crystals in or on the candle. Different candles have different benefits depending on the crystal and even the scent of the candle.
Introducing Crystabelles
Crystabelles is run by Krista, who has always been interested in candles and aromatherapy. When she discovered crystals and their healing qualities, she put the two together to create amazing crystal-infused candles for herself. After that, Crystabelles was born!
Crystabelle products:
Crystabelle sells a massive range of items!
- Crystal-infused candles – including a bridal range
- Crystals
- Wax melts
- Melt burners
- Candle accessories
- Reed diffusers
- Room mist
- Facial rollers
- Himalayan rock salt lamps
- Gift sets
Plus, if you aren’t sure which candle to buy you can choose a sample of the scent in the form of wax melts!
What did I receive?
Krista sent me the Black pomegranate and obsidian candle! I was so happy to receive this one as I didn’t have an obsidian candle so it’s great to add that to my collection ☺
I have never really smelled a black pomegranate before, but I can ensure you it smelt amazing. Sometimes I find that scents can be a little bit too overpowering and can give me a headache. This was not the case, it gave off a lovely scent. This would be the perfect gift for a loved one or friend. Maybe they need a little self-love, get them a rose quartz candle. Or if they are experiencing back pain, a bloodstone candle would be perfect.
I should also add that Krista has brought out an autumnal candle, Pumpkin Spice. There are two options, either a candle or pumpkin-shaped wax melts. I might not be able to resist buying some of the wax melts – they look so cute! 🎃
The benefits of candles and crystals
Now that I have shown you one of Krista’s amazing products, I’m going to tell you all about the benefits of candles and crystals.
Candles
- Calming – lighting a candle creates such a peaceful and calming atmosphere.
- Reduces stress – when I have a stressful day, I love to light a candle and watch it melt
- Make you sleepy – my sleep has been suffering a bit lately but I have found lavender candles to be beneficial for me. Adding a book with this & turning off your screens could improve your sleep routine even more
- Hygge – Hygge (Danish) is the feeling of warmth and cosiness which is everything a candle is. I haven’t spoken much about hygge on my blog, something which I intend to post more about very soon!
- Self-care – candles are a great addition to your self-care routine, maybe write some affirmations or do some colouring. I like to listen to acoustic or instrumental music whilst I do so.
- Scents – different candle scents have different benefits. For example, lemon is good for focusing while chamomile can reduce stress.
- Remind you of memories – certain scents definitely have good and bad memories attached to them. For example, if I’m having a bad day, I like to wear perfume that my sister bought me.
- Decor – autumn is my absolute favourite season and I can’t wait to decorate my new uni house with candles!
Crystals
- Natural therapy – by placing crystals around you, you can get your energies to focus your mind and body.
- Clarity – crystals are very good at focusing and destressing you. By doing so, you can see how you really feel.
- Calm nervousness – carrying a crystal around with you can help keep you calm and less anxious. When I was really anxious in college, I would carry around fluorite with me. It is a good crystal for anxiety and I would hold it in my pocket when I was getting panicky.
- Type of crystal – as with candles, different crystals have different benefits. My mum gave me a section of amethyst to keep on my bedside table because it is meant to help you sleep. I take it with me everywhere – it’s one of the most important things to me 🥰 I’m currently searching around for some form of citrine crystal as I have heard that it helps with IBS.
- Different colours – once again, different coloured crystals have different benefits. Flourite comes in many colours but not all have the same benefits!
- Intuition – if you don’t know which crystal is right for you, simply look at them and choose your favourite. You might notice that it helps you out later on in life! If you are drawn away from particular crystals, it could be that you are burying that feeling – pretty amazing that a crystal can help you find that out.
If you enjoyed this post, please let me know as I would love to share more about my journey with crystals, as well as tips and tricks ♡
Have you heard of crystal-infused candles before? Do you own any crystals?
Best wishes, Cx
I’ve been a fan of candles for so many years but am only just venturing into crystals and their healing properties. Crystabelle sounds great too. I’ll definitely be checking them out.
Thank you x
I didn’t know there were crystal-infused candles! Now I want to try them out. I would also probably prefer a crystal-infused candle that would help with anxiety 🙂
They are so beneficial x
Aww I love this post Caroline. Candles are my favourite, I’ll definitely have to get some of these since they have crystals in them. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you xx
I love this post! I’m not a big fan of candles, however, I’ve wanted to get more into crystals so this post has taught me a lot xx
Excellent! x
Oh, I didn’t know about crystal candles so this was such a great post to read and learn from! I have been curious about crystals for a bit, so this would be such a great way to know them x
Thank you x
I don’t know any crystals but I am a candle fan! I didn’t know there was a combination of the two, that’s interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I know right 🙂 x
I’ve never heard about a gem candle before so it was soo interesting to read your post! I’ve always found candles extremely relaxing, I can just sit and stare at the little flame for minutes sometimes. I can see the benefits of gem candles for sure! Thank you for sharing, now I want to learn more about crystals haha.
I totally feel you! More crystal posts are being scheduled 😉 x
Well I never knew that you could get crystal-infused candles! I like that help with calming and destressing you! x

I love crystals and definitely have to check out Crystabelle! I have heard of crystal infused candles, but wasn’t sure where to get them. Thanks so much for sharing!
So cool, let me know which one you choose 🙂
I am in love with the idea of crystal infused candles! My mother makes handmade soap with crystals and flowers as her star decorations and I really enjoy the extra hum a crystal adds; it makes a thing extraordinary and gives you something personal to keep.
Thanks for sharing!
Aww, that’s so cool! x
I like the idea of hygge. I can imagine these are calming and cosy.
Definitely 🙂
I’ve never heard of these before but they sound lovely! It’s so nice with the crystals in with different benefits!

I agree x
I love crystals & have them around the house, in my purse and used them a lot lately during my mental health crisis and gaining confidence to start the blog.
I have looked at loads of these candles but never actually purchased. Will check this seller out. Thanks for recommending
I’m glad they helped you x
I’ve been a candle fan for the longest time. I don’t know much about crystals, but it was so interesting to read about their benefits 🙂
Thank you x
I love using and displaying crystals! The obsidian candle is gorge x

Yes! I love candles and the fact that they reduce stress!
They are amazing x
I never knew that crystal candles were a thing, they sound fab. I don’t really know much about crystals but I loved reading more about them.

My partner brought me some crystals linked to my star sign but I am still needing to learn much more. I love lighting candles. I have one burning right now! Thank you for sharing.

Ooh, that’s fun! x
I love crystals and have a small collection of them–I have the “staple” crystals we should all have in our collection like rose quartz, and then I have some that are a lesser known as well and I love each of them. I find them very calming and good for my mental health. I also love candles, but I’m careful of what kind I buy as I only want ones made naturally without chemicals. These crystal candles look lovely!! I haven’t bought a crystal candle yet, though I have seen them before. Thank you for sharing.
I’m the same! I’m all for natural 🙂 x
This is so interesting Caroline! I have candles around the house but really just to look and smell pretty and never really thought about them more. But I’ve been looking into crystals recently to help with sleep so I’m really happy I came across this – thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you, I hope you find one x
Love this! I don’t usually use candles but these look brilliant and perfect for calming down and making yourself sleepy – I sometimes struggle with getting to sleep, too. I love that you mentioned crystals are linked to intuition! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you x
This candle looks divine! I would love to get myself an intentional candle. I have been really interested in learning more about crystal recently!
You should 🙂
I love candles but I’ve never tried crystals. Think I should though because they sound like my kind of thing! Also, I love the word Hygge <3
Definitely 🙂
Wow very interesting obsessing, sounds like an amazing and full of quality product. Thanks for recommending..
Thank you
I am a fan of aromatherapy but haven’t heard of infusing crystals in the candle. Sounds like a win win. Thank you for sharing.
Definitely!
Oo, crystal-infused candles are such a great idea! I love lighting candles at this time of year, makes me feel so cosy and content x
Me too x
I recently started getting into crystals and learned about crystal candles from another Etsy shop. The black pomegranate candle sounds superb.
I’m glad 🙂 It honestly smells so lovely x
My wife always has a candle burning, but I don’t think she has tried one with a crystal. Thanks for sharing this information.
Thank you for reading 🙂
Wow! I never knew these were a thing! I have candles at home but never tried a crystal infused one. But it makes sense that they would have healing benefits (I’ve seen a bit about crystal benefits before). Thanks for sharing these candle ideas 🙂
Definitely 🙂 x
Oh Caroline! You did geology? That’s so fab! I am studying geophysics in uni and it’s interesting. I love candles. They’ve always been a favourite of mine from when I am in a good/bad mood to when I just want to get in some self care. Before now, I never used to pay too much attention to crystals. That should change. Thank you for sharing x
Oh, that’s so cool! x
I love crystals AND candles. I was gifted a tiger’s eye crystal candle last Christmas and have been keeping my eye out for them ever since. I’ve been meaning to add black obsidian to my collection and Crystabelles looks right up my alley! (Black pomegranate sounds heavenly!) Thank you for sharing!
Ooh, that’s fun! Thank you 🙂 xx
It looks like you’ve enlightened a few of here (excuse the pun), I have never heard of crystal infused candles. I am going to check them out now, I know some friends that would love one too – what a great gift idea rather than the standard candle. Thank you for sharing!
Haha, thank you x
I had no idea there were crystal-infused candles, what a neat idea! They remind me of those candles that had the little charms in them. I knew there were a number of benefits to candles and crystals but some of the ones you mentioned are new to me. I really enjoy having candles around but haven’t done much with crystals yet, I will have to look into them more and try to incorporate them into my area.
Thank you for reading 🙂
That black pomegranate and obsidian candle looks beautiful!
It smells amazing ☺
Oh, I love crystals and candles, but haven’t ventured into the two together. I love the idea of it though, so will have to give it a try!
Thanks for sharing 🙂

I am very interested in learning more about crystals. I met some people whose approaches to crystals made me a bit skeptical in the whole thing, but I do know deep down there’s got to be something about them. I’m just not sure which sources to go to. They’re so pretty; I have a blue crystal on a pendant that I got a while back, I’m not sure what it’s called, but it definitely has its pull! Aquamarine, I think?
I love pumpkin spice season! It definitely pulls you into the season and prepares you for the colder, crisper months! It’s still 80 degrees here so I’m waiting to smell pinecones XD
Thanks for the great post!
I feel you – so many people think different things! Awww Aquamarine is so nice <3 x
