White Dammar is a fossil or freshly extracted tree resin from South-East Asia, primarily from trees of the genera Shorea and Hopea. The light, glass-clear to milky-white resin crystals burn with a fresh, slightly citrusy, resinous fragrance.
In Indonesia, Malaysia and other parts of South-East Asia, dammar has been used for centuries as an incense resin and sealant. In a spiritual context it is considered purifying and light-bringing. Dammar burns very cleanly and is therefore also popular in Western incense practice.
Use: Place crystals or pieces on incense charcoal. Melts and vaporises quickly, leaving virtually no residue.
