The Magic Lives On: Reusing Crystals from Wax Melts and Candles

Crystals have been cherished for centuries for their beauty and believed energetic properties. If you've purchased a wax melt or candle infused with crystals, you might wonder—do the crystals get "used up" after being heated? The simple answer is no! Crystals do not dissolve, evaporate, or lose their essence when exposed to heat. However, there are a few things to consider when reusing them.

🔥 How Do Crystals React to Heat?

Crystals are naturally formed over millions of years, meaning they are quite durable. When placed in wax melts or candles, they may absorb some of the fragrance and essential oils, but this does not damage them. Some people even believe that the warmth from the wax enhances the crystal's energy, making them even more effective for intention-setting and healing practices.

However, certain crystals may be more sensitive to extreme heat. While most tumbled stones used in wax products are heat-resistant, some softer or water-based crystals (like Selenite) can be more delicate. Always check the properties of your crystal if you plan to reuse it in different ways.

💎 Reusing Your Crystals

Once your wax has melted, your crystal is left behind, ready to be repurposed. Here’s how you can continue to enjoy them:

  1. Cleaning Your Crystals: Once your wax melt has fully cooled, remove the crystal and rinse it under warm water. If any wax remains, a gentle wipe with a cloth should remove it. For stubborn residue, a mild dish soap can help. Some people like to cleanse their crystals further by soaking them in salt water (if the crystal is water-safe) or placing them under the moonlight.

  2. Charging Your Crystals Over time, many believe that crystals can absorb surrounding energies. To refresh them, you can recharge them by:

    • Running them under cold water to cleanse them.

    • Leaving them in moonlight overnight (especially during a full moon).

    • Placing them on selenite or near other cleansing stones.

    • Burying them in soil for 24 hours to ground and refresh their energy.

    • Smudging them with sage or palo santo to clear any absorbed energies.

  3. New Uses for Your Crystal Once cleansed, your crystal is ready for a new purpose! You can:

    • Carry it in your pocket for daily support.

    • Add it to a meditation or affirmation ritual.

    • Place it near your bed, workspace, or favourite relaxation spot.

    • Keep it in a dish with other crystals to create an energy-charged space.

    • Use it in a new DIY candle or wax melt for continued energy infusion.

    • Incorporate it into jewellery or keychains for a personal touch.

🌿 Sustainable & Spiritual Benefits

One of the best things about crystal-infused wax melts and candles is that they offer a two-in-one experience—enjoying beautiful scents while also collecting meaningful crystals. Since they can be reused indefinitely, they are an eco-friendly addition to any space, aligning with the sustainable values of Blake’s Makes.
