What makes the black soapstone special
This incense burner is made from Indian soapstone, hand-polished to a deep black finish. The surface is smooth, soft to the touch, and small veins may break the even black tone — each piece can be slightly unique. Soapstone naturally handles heat well, which makes it suitable for incense sticks. You can place it on your table with confidence even if you use it often.
The meaning of the white Ohm symbol
On top of the burner you can see an Ohm symbol made from white mother-of-pearl inlay, which in many traditions stands for the basic sound and inner focus. The light-coloured inlay stands out nicely against the dark surface, and gently shines in daylight. The symbol has long been known in Indian and Buddhist culture, and for many people it supports quiet moments at home. You will enjoy it even if you only want to place it on a shelf as a decorative piece.
Four sticks at once
There are four small holes on the burner, so you can light up to four different incense sticks at the same time. This can be useful if you want a continuous scent for a longer meditation or for an evening together with family. The sticks stand firmly in the holes and do not fall over even if someone passes by. The smooth stone surface catches the falling ash easily, and it is then simple to wipe off.
Size and weight
The burner is around 10 centimetres wide and weighs 196 grams. This size fits on a small coffee table, on a bookshelf or on a window sill. Its weight is enough to keep it stable so that it does not move when you place the sticks. It arrives in a carefully made cardboard box, so it is also suitable as a gift.
Cleaning and everyday use
After use, wait until the burner has cooled down completely, and only then wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use strong cleaners, as they can dull the shine of the mother-of-pearl. If ash builds up, gently brush it off with a soft brush. Keep it away from small children and pets, and never leave a burning stick unattended. This way the burner will keep its nice condition for years and bring a calm mood into your home.
