Like frankincense, myrrh is resin from trees that grow primarily in parts of Arabia and Africa. Myrrh resin, however, has a fragrance completely different from frankincense—warm, earthy, spicy and slightly bitter (the word "myrrh" in fact comes from a Hebrew root meaning "bitter"). For centuries, myrrh has been used in the worship of God, often being combined with frankincense, to which it makes an excellent complement.
These multi-colored resins are processed by the monks, to rid them of obvious impurities and break them down to a small enough size for easy burning.

PLEASE NOTE: Because High Grade Myrrh is processed by hand, orders may take an additional 3-4 days before being ready to ship.
Fantastic
Wonderful, natural scent, reminiscent of the gifts offered to Christ by the wise men.
Great scent, reasonably priced very satisfied.
The incense is wonderful. Forgot that myrrh deposits a wet leafmeal aroma that lingers long after burning. So I throw in a pinch when I combine resins. Must try the mix that the brothers and sisters at the holy sight. The soaps are excellent too. I support folks on a sincere mission. Contemplating the sacred and preserving EO culture on the side of a mountain takes love and grit. Good luck. Returning customer and supporter.
Many of the pieces of resin are generously large, which produce copious amounts of smoke for a long time, even unto the end of the age. ;)
