Rocks Afire

Rocks Afire

Rock candles by Rocks Afire were inspired by the flickering light of a campfire on summer nights at Georgian Bay.

My name is Andy Zakrzewski. I retired in 2010 after 41 years in essential services. I have had a keen interest in geology and a passionate love of the outdoors since an early age. Creating the rock candles satisfies both of my favorite passions.

The rock candles kept me so busy that I had to move my centre of activity from my cottage on Georgian Bay to my home in the Caledon Hills Ontario. I create the rock candles in my workshop at home.

I use unique shaped natural rock and bond a reservoir to the base for the liquid paraffin fuel. The burn time for the candles is 4-6 hours and a refilling kit is included. 90% of my time is spent looking for the rock.

Rocks Afire won the Best New Product Design at the Home County Folk Festival in London Ontario.
