How to use it
Set the burner on a heat-safe surface with space around it. Fill the upper bowl with a little water, then add a few drops of your oil to the water.
Place a lit tealight in the chamber below and let the warmth do the rest. Top up the water before it runs dry, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
When you are finished, let the stone cool completely, then wipe the bowl clean with a soft cloth.

✨ Temple Tip
Add the water first, then the oil — never oil alone. Water spreads the heat, keeps the scent soft instead of sharp, and makes the bowl far easier to wipe out afterwards.
Questions & answers
Does the burner come with a tealight or oils?
No. The listing is for the carved soapstone burner only. Tealight candles and essential oils are sold separately.
How big is it?
3.5 inches tall. It is a compact piece designed to sit on a nightstand, shelf, or altar corner.
Where is it made?
It is hand-carved in India from soapstone.
Can I use wax melts instead of oil?
The bowl is designed for water and essential oil. Wax will harden in the dish and is far harder to clean out, so we do not recommend it.
Will each piece look exactly like the photo?
Because every burner is carved by hand, the pattern and stone tone vary a little from piece to piece. That variation is part of the object.
Light it, breathe once, and let the room catch up with you. #TempleOfDesire
