Copal Light (also White Copal) is a particularly pure, bright variety of Mexican copal. The creamy-white to pale yellow resin is obtained primarily from Bursera bipinnata and other Bursera species. Its fragrance is fresh, light, citrusy and with a slightly resinous sweetness.
Light copal stands in Mesoamerican traditions for purity and mental clarity. It is used to cleanse persons, objects and spaces and is a regular component of healing ceremonies in Mexico and Guatemala. The light smoke symbolises the connection with the heavens.
Use: Place granules directly on incense charcoal. Immediately aromatic and pleasant in the room.
