Petrified Wood Rock Candle
Petrified wood can assist anyone who is feeling stuck or experiencing being frozen in time. It helps to create balance and offers a foundation from which to launch new goals or undertake a different path. Petrified wood is also a wonderful grounding stone. It helps to calm scattered energies.
Petrified wood is a calming stone, and increases perseverance and patience. Its protective energies are very grounding, but will also connect you to the past and the future in a way that other stones can't.
Petrified wood is a fossil. It forms when plant material is buried by sediment and protected from decay due to oxygen and organisms. Then, groundwater rich in dissolved solids flows through the sediment, replacing the original plant material with silica, calcite, pyrite, or another inorganic material such as opal.
Each candle is hand-crafted from natural stone, making it a unique piece of artistry that can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Instructions for Use:
Filling: Remove the brass tube and wick. Slowly fill the reservoir with 3–4 funnels of lamp oil (approximately 3–4 hours of burn time).
Oil Types: Use Ultra-Pure Paraffin Lamp Oil for indoor use (available at Ace Hardware, Hobby Lobby, or online). For outdoor use, citronella tiki oil is recommended to keep insects away.
Lighting: Slide the brass tube to the end of the wick and replace both. For indoor use, keep the wick low (1/4" or less). For outdoor use, the wick can be set higher to prevent the flame from blowing out.
Maintenance: Do not trim the fiberglass wick; it is designed not to burn away. Simply add more oil when you are ready to use the candle again.
Safety Note: Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Each candle comes with a funnel and a printed copy of these instructions. Because every rock is one-of-a-kind, please feel free to contact me if you would like to see pictures of my current inventory or to select a specific stone.
