GovindaFrankincense 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

What a great price!

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 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.

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.

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.

The media could not be loaded. Usually when I buy something from Amazon I read the bad reviews and hope that my purchase will work out and I'll be lucky. Well unfortunately not this time. I've burned frankincense many times and so I decided to give this one a try. I put a few pieces on the charcoal and it started off ok. Then after a few minutes I smelled something like burned glycerin soap and burnt plastic. It smokes for a long time and doesn't finish clean. My burner has an included lid and when I opened it I noticed a sticky tar like coating had formed from the smoke inside the burner. I'm not sure what exactly is this but it's not EXACTLY frankincense. I'm definitely disappointed and I don't think that I will ever purchase anything with the Govinda brand again. Im really bummed out about this. I was hoping to sit on my balcony and enjoy it.

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.
