Soapstone Oil Burner Om Elephant 8cm

Light a tealight beneath the bowl and the room begins to change quietly. This handcrafted soapstone oil burner turns essential oils or wax melts into a small scent ritual, with candlelight moving through carved Om and elephant details as the fragrance warms.

How the scent is warmed

• An unscented tealight sits in the base, gently heating the dish above.
• Use a wax melt, aroma granules, or a little water with a few drops of essential oil in the top dish.
• The warmth releases fragrance gradually, making it well suited to an evening wind-down or a quiet corner.
• The carved openings let the flame show through, adding soft shadow as the burner works.
• Keep the dish from running dry when using water and essential oil.

Carved soapstone with Om and elephant detail

Made from natural soapstone, it has a weighty, stone-like feel and a smooth carved finish. The design combines the Om symbol with an elephant motif, shown against deep red and green tones that give each piece its own variation.

Using it at home

Place the burner on a stable, heat-safe surface before lighting the tealight. Add your chosen wax melt, aroma granules, or water and essential oil to the dish, then let the gentle heat do the rest.

It suits a meditation corner, bedside table, bathroom shelf or living-room sideboard, anywhere you want fragrance to become part of the atmosphere rather than background noise.

Care for the stone and dish

Allow the burner to cool fully before moving or cleaning it. Wipe away cooled wax or residue with care, and clean the dish between scents so the next fragrance stays clear.

Use with ordinary candle safety: keep it away from draughts, fabrics and children, and never leave a lit tealight unattended.

Symbolism in the carving

The Om symbol is a sacred syllable in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions, often used as a focus for meditation, chanting and inward attention. The elephant is a familiar motif in Indian art, associated with steadiness, memory and auspicious presence. Here, the two sit together in a practical fragrance object, bringing cultural symbolism into the everyday ritual of lighting a candle and scenting a room.
