Stone Oil Burner Hand Carved Indonesian Sandstone

As the tealight catches, a small pool of warmth begins to gather beneath the dish, turning fragrance into atmosphere. This sandstone oil burner is made for those quiet moments when a room needs soft light, gentle scent and a slower pace.

How scent begins to move

• Place an unscented tealight in the base, then add a wax melt, aroma granules, or water with a few drops of essential oil to the dish above.
• The candle’s gentle heat releases the fragrance gradually, so the room changes by degrees rather than all at once.
• Used in the evening, it gives a simple point of focus: flame below, scent above, the day settling around it.
• The stone body brings a grounded, natural presence, even before the candle is lit.
• It suits slow scent rituals, seasonal wax melts, and essential oil blends chosen to mark a particular mood or moment.

Hand-carved sandstone

The burner is hand-carved from sandstone, giving it the calm, earthy character of natural stone. Sandstone has a tactile, mineral feel, with a quiet weight that makes the piece feel steady in the hand and settled on a surface.

Using it well

Add your chosen wax melt, aroma granules, or water and essential oil to the top dish before lighting the tealight. Keep the dish from running dry, and let the burner cool fully before moving, emptying, or cleaning it.

Use on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, fabrics and overhanging shelves. As with any candle-lit piece, never leave a burning tealight unattended.

Stone carving from Java

This piece comes from Indonesia, with its craft context in Jogja, Java, a place known for stone carving and devotional sculpture. In that setting, carved stone is more than decoration: it carries a sense of stillness, patience and touch. An oil burner draws on a much older human habit too, pairing flame with fragrance to change the feeling of a room. Here, that ritual is kept simple and domestic: a small candle, a chosen scent, and a carved stone form that brings the act back to earth.

Weight and details

Made from sandstone and weighing 460 g. Designed for use with an unscented tealight in the base and fragrance in the top dish.

A thoughtful scent ritual gift

A considered gift for someone who enjoys essential oils, wax melts, candlelight, or small grounding rituals at home. The hand-carved stone gives it a keepsake quality, suited to a bedside table, meditation corner or quiet living space.

Common questions

Can I use both wax melts and essential oils in it?
Yes. Use a wax melt or aroma granules directly in the dish, or add a little water with a few drops of essential oil.

Does it need an electric plug?
No. This is a candle-lit oil burner designed for use with an unscented tealight.

How should I clean the sandstone?
Let the burner cool completely, remove any residue from the dish, and wipe the stone gently. Avoid soaking sandstone, as it is a porous natural material.
