Gorora Soapstone Oil Burner

Description

Soapstone has been used for centuries across many cultures. From jewelry in Ancient Egypt, to bed warmers in the arctic, to non-melting whisky "ice" cubes in Scotland. 

For decades these stones have been quarried around Agra, in India - home of the famous Taj Mahal.

Here we present a gorgeous hand carved artisan essential oil burner. Soapstone is relatively soft because of its high talc content, which makes it easy (for a rock) to carve.

Gorara is an Indian soapstone with a natural marbled appearance and this lamp has been completely hand carved by master craftsmen using traditional skills.

We like this oil burner as the saucer reservoir is removable making for easy filling and can also be inverted to transform it into a lovely lamp casting a gentle, flickering, ambient light. 

Simply place a tea candle in the base, fill  the reservoir saucer with water and add a few drops of your favourite essential oil and let the aromas infuse the air.

We'll even throw in a couple of T lights to get you up and running (just in case you don't have any). Otherwise, it's like getting a battery operated toy at Christmas and no batteries. Not much good that, is it?

Don't forget your essential oils though. You can find some here: Rainbow Life's Awesome Selection of Essential Oils.
