Having followed the various threads on candle magic, I thought I
post some info that may relate somewhat to this subject. More
precisely speaking, relating to the effects of candles on subtle
energies of crystals, info which I ran into just today.
A clairvoyant by the name of Nat Bondar made some research, along
with Tony Bondar, into the energetic healing qualities of crystals
and stones.
For one thing they discovered that when lighting a candle placed in
crystal and mineral candle-holders the subtle mineral energy of the
stone would increase its field by about 300 %. It stayed that way as
long as the candle was burning. As soon as the candle went out, the
energy field would go back to normal size.
Similar observations were made when putting crystals in soil or in
water.
My personal note: that about candles may explain why I feel very
drawn to, and in a somewhat serene or divine mood, when I light up a
candle in a selenite candle-holder that I keep at home. I've felt
inclined to light it up when doing various forms of divination, such
as using a pendulum, meditation, etc. (Although I of course don't
think it is a requirement at all).
The above is only a portion of their research.

I find their research quite interesting and will probably look into
it a bit more, partly on account of that they set out to find how
it is that stones work in a particular way. Not just that
they work that way, as you can study in most crystal healing books.
