There's a light crunchy sugar coating on the outside and the inside is like a soft jelly bean. The flavors are unique which is why I bought this one. I saw some reviews about the flavors and I don't understand at all.... I got no soapy flavor and these definitely taste like what the chart says, plenty of flavor. There is a flavor or two that are sweet, but if you take your time and don't eat huge chunks at a time it's fine. The lychee flavor might not be right for everyone since it can be a bit perfumy tasting in general (not just these candies). As for the price, I did think they were pricey at first. Once I actually looked into the story about the small business and looked at the history of the type of candy, I changed my mind. Be warned that getting them seems to take some time and mine arrived about 7-10 days after I ordered them. They arrived just fine in the heat too Review: Unfortunately 🤢🤮 - Never thought I would find candy my son didn’t like. Guess there is a first time for everything. So I finally caved and bought these overpriced candies after my son and kept seeing the ads for them. I will say it is probably an acquired taste that is not for us. The flavors were mild to nonexistent. The crunch is definitely there but the texture of the candy is off putting. It was like bitting in to orbeez. Between the texture and the taste it’s a big no for us. ## Features - Silky Gem Lunar Crystals are handcrafted crystal-candy sticks inspired by Vietnamese Lunar New Year traditions and reimagined as a modern tasting and gifting experience. - Signature texture — a crisp crystallized exterior gives way to a soft, jelly-like center for a distinctive crystal-candy bite. - Lunar New Year inspired — wand-like crystal pieces bring a modern Silky Gem presentation to a tradition-inspired candy format. - Vegan and gluten-free — a colorful crystal-candy choice for gifting, sharing, and celebratory dessert displays. - Made for gifting and tea pairings — a distinctive option for celebrations, dessert tables, and ASMR-style snacking. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DW9MBP5C | | Age Range Description | All ages | | Best Sellers Rank | #45,349 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #1,029 in Hard Candy | | Brand | SILKY GEM | | Brand Name | SILKY GEM | | Candy Consistency | Hard | | Container Type | Jar | | Cuisine | Vietnamese cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 out of 5 stars 195 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Flavor | Varied | | Item Form | Rock | | Item Package Weight | 6 ounces | | Item Shape | Rectangular Prism | | Item Weight | 11 ounces | | Manufacturer | Silky Gem | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 10 | | Occasion | Anniversary | | Set Name | Lunar Crystal Collection | | Size | 10-12 pieces, approximately 2.4 inches long each | | Sugar Candy Type | CRYSTAL | | UPC | 850053252006 | | Unit Count | 8 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SILKY GEM - **Flavor:** Varied - **Item Form:** Rock - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 8 Ounce ## Images ![Silky Gem Lunar Crystals – Traditional Vietnamese Lunar New Year Candy – Crunchy Outside, Soft Inside – 10-12 Pieces in 8 oz Jar – Vegan, Gluten-Free candy Made in the USA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mZnPSWjXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really enjoyed these! *by G***9 on July 25, 2025* I found these very interesting! There's a light crunchy sugar coating on the outside and the inside is like a soft jelly bean. The flavors are unique which is why I bought this one. I saw some reviews about the flavors and I don't understand at all.... I got no soapy flavor and these definitely taste like what the chart says, plenty of flavor.

They arrived just fine in the heat too ### ⭐ Unfortunately 🤢🤮 *by S***E on February 24, 2026* Never thought I would find candy my son didn’t like. Guess there is a first time for everything. So I finally caved and bought these overpriced candies after my son and kept seeing the ads for them. I will say it is probably an acquired taste that is not for us. The flavors were mild to nonexistent. The crunch is definitely there but the texture of the candy is off putting. It was like bitting in to orbeez. Between the texture and the taste it’s a big no for us. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious Unique Dessert *by E***E on September 30, 2025* I was uncertain about this order but it’s so much better than expected! It’s a product from a small business, and they did a wonderful job packaging it with care and love. They even included the sour glitter powder for FREE, which could be added to the candy if you’d like a more sour flavor. I loved the texture of these candies which is why they’re TikTok famous. They are crunchy on the outside and jelly on the inside. It’s such a unique and interesting texture and is perfect for a fun snack tasting activity with friends! If you don’t like crunchy candy, these won’t be for you! I loved the appearance of the candies and we all agreed that they really did look like beautiful crystals. I will say that some of the flavors were stronger than others, with some being almost too mild. I think the flavors lean more Asian than some people might be used to with flavors included like yuzu and lychee. I personally loved those flavors the best! People might view the price as high for what it is, but this price seems absolutely called for with such a unique difficult-to-create dessert item that takes effort to create by a small business. I see it at worth the price if you go into it knowing what you’ll get! ## Frequently Bought Together - Silky Gem Lunar Crystals – Traditional Vietnamese Lunar New Year Candy – Crunchy Outside, Soft Inside – 10-12 Pieces in 8 oz Jar – Vegan, Gluten-Free, Made in the USA - Silky Gem Pixie Sour Dip - Silky Gem - Edible Blue Raspberry Flavored Crystal Candy, 8-10 pieces, Kohakutou, Edible Lapis Gem, Vegan, Gluten Free, ASMR --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/697408372-silky-gem-lunar-crystals-traditional-vietnamese-lunar-new-year-candy](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/697408372-silky-gem-lunar-crystals-traditional-vietnamese-lunar-new-year-candy) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
