The raw form — the same White and Dark Copal, unshaped, for those who want to work with it directly.
BOTANICAL SOURCE
Bursera bipinnata and Bursera copallifera, family Burseraceae
COMPOSITION
Resin acids, diterpenes, triterpenes, and monoterpenes (including α-pinene and limonene)
APPEARANCE
Solid, translucent to milky, pale yellow to amber — darkens naturally with air exposure
MELTING POINT
100°C – 150°C
AROMATIC PROFILE
Top note: bright lemon and lime
Heart note: wild pine and fir
Base note: sweet, faintly earthy
HOW TO USE
Place copal resin over hot charcoal to burn and release the smoke. We recommend using small amounts at a time so the charcoal doesn’t suffocate.
NOTES
-If your copal pieces are too sticky or stuck together into one big piece upon opening the bag, you can place the bag in the freezer for a few hours and it should dry up a little to manage more easily.
-As needed, break off pieces with your hands or scissors that you don’t mind getting sticky.
