Adorning our beautiful Great Lakes shorelines are many ancient marine fossils which tell the story of another time. Our Great Lakes Fossil gel candle features one of these beautiful fossils front and center. Although the candle you will receive is not the exact one pictured, it well represents the quality of the candle and stone you will receive. Also included in the pictures are examples of just some of the fossils we use in these candles.

One of the best things about this candle is that you are rewarded with the Lake Michigan treasures on the bottom when you are through burning it!!!

CANDLE CARE INSTRUCTIONS AND REMINDERS
1. Place your candle on a stable, flat, heat resistant surface & away from flammable items and/or drafty areas. Do not touch or move candle while lit.
2. Your first burn should be 2-4 hours in length. Gel candles burn very slow and need time to reach a full melt pool. During subsequent burns allow enough time for the candle wax to melt from the edges to prevent 'tunnelling'.
3. Frequent wick trimming is key. Zinc core wicks will "mushroom" during longer burns. Trim candle wick to 1/8"- 1/4" prior to burning and mid-burn if you notice the flame is low/struggling or high/smoking. If you don't already own a wick trimmer we highly recommend getting one so that you can easily trim the wick while catching the trimmed end and soot to keep your gel wax clean and clear of debris.
4. Air bubbles are normal throughout the gel wax and will slowly disappear as the candle wax heats up.
5. For safety purposes, discontinue use when 1/2 inch of wax remains. Do not burn right down to sand or rocks. Once the wax has cooled, you can remove the treasures inside!
6. Never leave a burning candle unattended. The contents inside are non-flammable and have been tested, but as the wax melts, items inside could shift and obstruct the wick(s).
7. Always keep well out of the reach of children & pets. In between burns, replace the lid to keep your candle clean and free of dust and debris.
