{"product_id":"indukala-moon-phase-incense-holder-white-carved-marble","title":"Moon Phase Incense Holder — Hand-Carved White Marble with Brass","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single block of white marble, carved by hand, with the phases of the moon laid into the surface in brass. Two holes, one at each end, so you can burn one stick or two - or set the second one aside and let the piece sit as an object in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarble is heavy and cool to the touch, which is exactly what you want under a burning stick. It does not scorch, it does not warp, and the ash lands on stone instead of wood. The brass inlay picks up candlelight, so the holder reads differently at night than it does in daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved white marble, no two pieces identical in veining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoon phase design inlaid in brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo holes for standard incense sticks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy enough to stay put, flat enough to catch ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor or sheltered outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet the holder on a level surface away from curtains, paper and anything that moves in a draft. Push the stick into one of the holes until it sits firm, light the tip, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then blow it out so the ember glows. Stay in the room while it burns. Let the marble cool before you wipe it - a dry cloth is enough; ash lifts off stone without water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#000D0B,#40514E);color:#f9f6f0;padding:22px 24px;border-radius:10px;margin:26px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#c9a96e;margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eTemple Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eBurn one stick, not two, when you are working with intention.
