Description

Frankincense Resin Beads from the exudate of the Olibanum tree, Boswellia carterii, Burseraceae. Only the finest gum supplied (see picture) There are no discoloured or bulky lumps in our product. This is the same gum we use for our Somali Frankincense Essential Oil.

Suggestions for Use

Burn in an incense burner for a lovely, exotic aroma. Mix with Benzoin Gum to enhance the olfactive experience. Compared to other origins, you can see from the picture that the Somali tears/beads are all an even Yellow colour with no black or discoloured beads. These Frankincense tears have been hand sifted to ensure the discoloured beads have been removed, so you get a better quality bag of the product as a result, which is also more appealing visually.
