What
is the Incense stone ?
A
new, fragrant precious stone !!
Incense
is used by all religions, and we are all familiar with the
fragrant odour it produces when it is burned in churches,
temples or at home, as a sign that our prayers and petitions
are rising up to heaven.
Raw
incense is transformed into something new!
The
basic material used to make our precious
stone, is freshly harvested natural incense first
choice , produced by the existing incense trees
in Arabian countries. This is what we import!!
Using
sophisticated procedures, based on a concept developed by
a German scientist, we follow the workings of nature which
run their course of time.
The
basic material such as natural fragrant incense is very
much in demand . All previous attempts by other
companies to make incense by mixing, pressing or adding
artificial aromas, resulted in failure.
A
priest once asked me: "what is the improvement
in your new Incense". Without saying anything,
I put an incense stone into an incense burner and after
a short time when the room became full of fragrance of the
new incense, the priest said: ‘It is unbelievable, you can
smell and feel the real nature.'
Our
fragrant incense stone combines the best qualities of nature
with the lege artis of today.
This
noble incense stone is very similar to natural amber in
colour, hardness (approx.2.0 Mohs) and is used in various
handicrafts. In addition it emits a marvellous fragrance.
The
incense stone has: soft colour, most beautiful forms and
a healing fragrance!
Similarities
and differences between incense and amber:
Both
incense and amber come from the resin of trees.
Natural
resins are a mixture of different tree saps. Their purpose
is to seal wounds in the bark and protect against harmful
bacteria.
Incense
is presently harvested in India and Arabian countries, but
its tradition goes back over 6000 years.
Amber
is the resin of prehistoric, coniferous trees (40 to 55
million years old)
The
resin is dehydrated, fossilized and hardened during this
long period.
