Govinda Frankincense Natural Gum Tree Sap Tears Quality A 1 lb

Smells nice, not too strong but nice, got this to infuse in castor oil, like it very much, thank you

Note to all people who buy Omani and Somalian frankincense known as Boswelliacarterii and Boswellia sacra, and to those who are used to "hojari" frankincense from that tree. This frankincense is the species Boswellia papyrifera. It has a somewhat clear to tan/orange color and a citrusy scent. It is not the same as B. sacra and smells quite different, so if you know what to expect you will likely enjoy it. The resins from these species are different, and it seems some other shoppers don't know that and are disappointed in their reviews. Finally, mine came sealed in a better bag than what is pictured and smells quite nice with low heating.

I use Frankincense almost daily during prayer time, and since I grew up with it it’s great for anxiety relief. I took a chance after reading reviews about it not being good. I’m not sure if the seller fixed what was broken or what, this is the real deal. Exactly what I remember. No problems at all.Also a great value. I would buy again and recommend to others as well. I’m usually a very selective buyer. This is working well for me. I will update as time goes by.

I ordered several different resins from this manufacturer.Stay away from the Dragons Blood and Benzoin.They use some kind of binder to fluff out the weight. A silver dollar sized chunk burned less than 30 seconds and smoked for about 3 minutes.Chemical smell, especially off the Dragons Blood which smells nothing like the real thing and more like a strong, cheap perfume.The Copal and Frankincense were fine.

I just picked up an electric resin burner. It is great but it showed me that my old resin is trash. It would just turn black and not melt fully like the sample resin.This resin is opaque. It has almost a dusty look to it. But if you break open the clusters, the inside is clear.The scent is great and long lasting. The value is also great. It will take me while to work through a pound of this resin but when I do, I will definitely buy some again.

What can I say? The Wise men brought it to a baby as a gift when it was valued more than GOLD.I use it as an offering to the Creator of the universe and I value it more than GOLD because of that fact.You can burn it with Hooka coals as I do and you will probably develop it into a habit due to the amazing smell.People will search for where the amazing smell is coming from and you can share your connection to the creator with his creation.The Arab's called it the tears of the trees, the INCA called Copal, the blood and tears of the tree's.How's that for wise men? It seems to awaken something deep within your being when you think of who was given it as a child.3 Wise Men can't be all wrong.Take it to the mountains and offer it and see what miracles the creator sends your way.Stay strong and live long,Regards,Nobody SpecialP.S. I gifted some to a man who's wife had stage 4 cancer and a month to live.The Creator had a different prognosis for her. That was a year ago. Praise the Creator for that, not me and not the Frankincense.

This is a great quality Ethiopian frankincense! Perfect size and aroma! I wouldn’t worry about some of the low rating people leave. If you know Ethiopian frankincense and how to burn it… this is a great deal. Get the Grade A for few $ more!

Very little fragrance with a slight rancid smell. Must be old stock.
