I purchased 2 packs of the cones and sticks. I think I like the cones better. The shape of the cone makes the flames leap higher than the sticks. The colors are very vibrant! Bright purples,blues and greens mixed with the reds and oranges of the fire were as my nephew said neat-o. I had to agree. it was very cool. We used 3 cones at a time and the whole fire was a blaze in blue! Lots of fun!

I bought these sticks, along with competitors' packages of crystals, for use in a very large Cub Scout campfire, and they performed excellently. These sticks produced intensely blue and green flames for approximately 15 minutes each. The scouts were fascinated by the effect, and the adults also found it very satisfying. The blue color works out particularly well for Cub Scouts.

Here's a trick: for the campfire, I unbraided a three-strand 2" sisal/hemp rope. I took the large strand and used a 6' section of it to wrap tightly around one of the campfire logs, with two of these color-flame sticks inside the wrap. The rope insulates the stick from the flame for some time, and once the rope burns down the stick slowly releases its color, for a very nice, delayed effect (which can really enhance the "magic" aspect of your fire color, if you're going for that sort of thing).

None of the sticks arrived broken, but they do their job broken or not. Some of the crystals had shed inside the packaging, but one can dump these crystals directly into the fire for the same effect.

Bottom line: This is a great product at a fair price, which performed exactly as advertised, and surprised me with its longevity of effect. I've got more scout camping and campfires coming up this summer, and this product definitely will be involved.

We took these camping last year and the kids loved them. They actually put out color for quite a while which I was surprised. The kids all got to throw some in the fire and it does not make the fire flare up so as to be concerned the kids would get burned but they kind of slowly burn and put out different colors. Had to buy them again since we camp every year and the kids where asking for them!Only negative is the price-it's a little pricey but it gave us at least an hour of color (we bought 2 boxes and had 8 kids)

These sticks were fun to throw into the fire at Christmas and watch the reactions. They burn quick - about 5 minutes maximum.

The shipping cost more than the product and there weren't that many pine cones in the bag. They were interesting to watch burn but had a limited amount of colors. The kids enjoyed them but got tired of watching them in the wood stove. They might be more interesting in an outdoor fire.

I purchased some of the cones and sticks for family and friends, but couldn't resist trying some out for myself. They're awesome! I personally prefer the pinecones. Everyone was in awe at the colors. They're so neat that I had to buy more for myself!

Works as advertized. Value is in the eye of the user. It is like paying extra for shiny wheels on your car. To some it is worth it and to some it is not.

If you like pretty colors in your fire... then this may be your ticket. And just like the wheels for your car it is not cheap.

I ordered these colored light sticks after my sister-in-law had some while we were camping this summer. They are great! My 90 year old uncle was visiting from out of state the first night we tried them and he is still talking about the beautiful colors of the fire in our fire pit! I plan to use them again for my son's Halloween party -- but I think I will have to order some more pretty quickly as they have already become family favorite! I highly recommend this product.

The Crystal Color Pinecones added the needed hoooo and ahhhhs to my party entertainment. I was very satified with the product. Now it makes me want to have fires more often.

These were bought for our nephew and he couldn't believe how incredible they were. They really last for a while and the colors change from purple to blue to green. What a hit for the whole family, in fact they asked where they could buy more.
