Handcrafted Natural Soapstone Ritual Set: Sacred Cross

$18.00 — Includes FREE Shipping!

Elevate your sanctuary with the Sacred Cross ritual set, a piece that brings vintage elegance and artisan craftsmanship into your home. Each 3.5" burner is individually handcrafted in India from genuine soapstone, a natural mineral celebrated for its incredible heat retention and one-of-a-kind color variations.

Because this is natural, untreated stone, your burner will arrive in its "raw" state, showcasing a stunning array of earth tones that range from soft grays and sandy tans to dusty purples and rose. The most exciting part of owning this piece is watching the "Magic of the Living Stone" unfold. Soapstone is naturally oleophilic, meaning it loves oil. As the stone absorbs your essential oils and the warmth of the flame, it undergoes a beautiful transformation, deepening into a rich, permanent, and lustrous dark patina that makes the intricate lattice carvings truly pop.

• What’s Included:

Your $18 bundle comes complete with one handcrafted Sacred Cross soapstone burner, a 5 mL bottle of premium essential oil for an immediate fragrance experience, and a tea light candle that provides six to seven hours of steady warmth. We even include fast and free shipping to keep your pricing simple and all-inclusive.

Pro-Tip: This burner works beautifully with wax melts. When finished, simply use a cotton ball to absorb the liquid wax for a mess-free cleanup. Over time, the heat from your melts will also help the stone naturally season and darken.

To achieve the best scent and the fastest "seasoning" of your stone, we recommend the Oil-First Method. Begin by adding 6–10 drops of the essential oil directly into the dry top tray without any water. Once you light your tea light, the oil will heat up to provide a powerful scent throw while simultaneously beginning to season the stone into its permanent dark color. After roughly three uses, the stone will have developed a beautiful, even patina. At that point, you can continue using oil only for maximum fragrance or add a tablespoon of water for a slower release. Please remember that soapstone holds heat exceptionally well, so allow the burner to cool completely before touching and never leave a dry burner unattended over a flame.

If you are looking for an instant transformation, you can jumpstart the patina by lightly rubbing a tiny drop of pure mineral oil over the exterior of the burner. If your stone seems denser and isn't darkening quickly, simply stick with the "Oil-First" method without water; the direct heat and undiluted oil will help the stone oxidize and reveal its hidden depths much faster.

A Note on Natural Variation Please keep in mind that because each burner is carved from genuine, earth-mined stone, no two pieces will season exactly the same way. Depending on the mineral density of your specific stone, the final patina may range from a deep charcoal or midnight black to a rich, warm mahogany. This natural variation ensures that your ritual burner is a truly one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.
