The AzureGreen Black Mini Ritual Chime Candles are advertised as black by the manufacturer. They're designed specifically for rituals, spell work, and other ceremonial purposes, burning for about 2 to 2.5 hours and fitting into chime candle holders.

However, something to keep in mind is that our research indicates some people have noticed the candles look more dark purple or have a purplish hue instead of being truly black. This seems to be more noticeable when they're lit. If you need a genuine black candle for your rituals or just prefer that color, this might be a dealbreaker.

It could be an issue with how they're made or packaged since some folks also mentioned minor imperfections like scratches.

Despite these color discrepancies, many still find them valuable for rituals because of their size and burn time.

If a true black candle is a must for you, it might be worth double-checking with the seller before buying or exploring other brands for better color accuracy.

But overall, these candles seem to do their job well in ritual contexts, according to those who've used them.
