Capture the ancient energy of Tibet. Copal is beautiful, powerful and mystical. Formed slowly over time from the resin of aromatic trees that lived ages ago, this resin is the lifeblood of the tree and Copal holds the energy of the ages. As these trees live and grow, their resins naturally emerge and fall to the ground around the tree. Such tree resins when new are prized as the highest quality of incense, such as frankincense, a holy gift. As the resins are subjected to the pressures of time, they gradually petrify into stone-like form eventually transforming into Amber. Also known as "young Amber", Copal is the intermediate stage between incense resin and Amber.
