Thought I'd post a few things I do with rocks.
I used to make what's called forever gel candles years ago. I mostly made them with seashells or glass critters and all. I've suddenly in the last year, had some requests from older customers. I had a bit left and last year through a rock one together.
The gel doesn't burn, I place a glass votive holder in the gel so a tea light or votive candle can be burned. When dark, the candle light makes the gel reflect all the light, its very hard to photograph, but they make one terrific night light. Pardon the pour photos, but you get the idea. I am considering buying more gel and making somemore with shells and rocks - since I have tons and tons of each.
A seascape candle I made about 4 or more years ago.
a couple taken in the dark so you get an idea
This is the rock one I made. I didn't have many polished rocks at this time, but realized, you probably don't have to use polished rocks as the gel is a resin and mineral oil compound, so the rock will have the wet shine anyways I think.
I'm thinking some of my thin agate slabs would be awesome in these.
