These 9" core candles are made with IGI 1239 wax, with added microwax. Wickholders and wicks are included in the price. Sometimes the wickholders/wicks are shipped in a separate box from the core candles, because of the relative weight of the core candles, which can crush the wickholders if they are packaged in the same box... sometimes the shipping company employees handle them too energetically. Other size core candles are available by special request.
