thanks vince! this was an attempt for me to find amber candles next week.

a friend of mine found some in SF but they were quite expensive...so i told her i would look while in the RD.....I imagine they use the resin not the stone to make such candles.

I dunno..i just thought i would be a good gift to bring back home for her if i can find them affordably.

Any help

Shopping in the Dominican Republic by Hispaniola.com:bunny: Candles

Hand made candles are popular gift/souvenir items, as they are generally less expensive than can be found elsewhere. Decorative and scented candles - using locally grown coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, etc. - can usually be found at most shops in Dominican Republic tourism destinations

thanks again vince.

Here is the deal. A woman i know in San Fran found some amber candles there....she was curious about them...but they were quite pricey for her (i think around 20USD). So i told her i would keep an eye out when i am in DR. There is a market a few blocks away from el conde in the capital...i think i might have luck there. But i wont stress about it...if i find them i find them.
