Love and Harmony Kit

Lavender Bundle (4-inch) - Lavandula from Turkey. The Isparta region in southwestern Turkey is the heart of contemporary Mediterranean lavender cultivation; the cool plateau climate and limestone soils produce the most documented Lavandula crop in the region. Most likely L. angustifolia or L. × intermedia based on commercial Turkish lavender practice; specific species pending supplier confirmation. The same Turkish-origin Lavender as the Smudging Ritual Kit's bundle, in a slightly smaller cut.

Blue Sage Bundle (4-inch) - Mexico. The kit catalogue carries two different products under the "Blue Sage" trade name: this one from Mexico (likely Salvia clevelandii, Salvia mexicana, or Salvia leucantha - all native to Mexico and Baja California) and a Turkish-origin Blue Sage in the Smudging Ritual Kit (an Anatolian or Mediterranean Salvia species). Same trade name, different species, different continents. Specific species for this Mexican bundle pending supplier confirmation.

Palo Santo Sticks (2 × 4-inch) - Bursera graveolens from the Peruvian dry forests, the same naturally aged wood as the Palo Santo Collection. Smoulders rather than burns; self-extinguishes; relights for multiple sessions.

Ashta Sugandha Stupa Incense Sticks - the "Ashta Sugandha" name renders the Sanskrit aṣṭa sugandha meaning "eight fragrances," referring to the eight aromatic ingredients in the blend. Handcrafted in the Kathmandu Valley workshop following the same craft lineage as the rest of the Stupa Collection. Burns approximately 15–20 minutes per stick.

Rose Quartz Palm Stone - rose quartz is a pink-coloured variety of quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂, Mohs hardness 7); the pink coloration is produced by trace iron and manganese, sometimes by titanium inclusions, or by microscopic mineral inclusions which can produce asterism (the six-pointed-star optical effect) in finer specimens. Major sources today: Brazil, Madagascar, India. The palm stone is a polished, smoothly carved oval form designed for tactile contact - a different mineral format from tumbled stones (Whispers of Joy), bracelets (Bracelet Range), pyramids, or wands. The Maison Étherique catalogue carries Palm Stones as a dedicated mineral subcategory.

Lavender and Blue Sage bundles:

1. Hold the bundle tip to a flame for 5–10 seconds until it catches.
2. Blow the flame out - the bundle smoulders.
3. Place in a heat-safe vessel or hold over a dish to catch ash.

Palo santo sticks:

1. Hold the tip to a flame until it catches.
2. Blow the flame out so the stick smoulders.
3. Place in a heat-safe vessel between uses; relights for multiple sessions.

Ashta Sugandha Stupa incense:

1. Light the tip until the incense catches.
2. Blow the flame out so the stick smoulders.
3. Place upright in a heat-safe holder.

Rose Quartz palm stone: a tactile object - held in the palm of the hand, the polished surface and rounded form sit comfortably in a closed fist. Wipe with a soft dry cloth as needed. Rose quartz holds its colour well in normal indoor conditions but can fade with prolonged direct sunlight exposure over years; store away from direct sun for the deepest colour retention.

Rose quartz has one of the longest documented adornment histories of any mineral in the catalogue. Beads of rose quartz have been recovered from Mesopotamian archaeological sites dating to roughly 7000 BCE - making the stone one of the earliest worked adornment minerals in the ancient Near East. Egyptian, Roman, and later Persian contexts followed; rose quartz beads and small carved objects appear continuously in the archaeological record across the Mediterranean basin and into Central Asia from the Neolithic onward. The mineral itself is a variety of quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂, Mohs hardness 7) with the pink coloration produced by trace iron and manganese, sometimes by titanium inclusions, or by microscopic mineral inclusions that can produce asterism in finer specimens. Major contemporary sources: Brazil, Madagascar, India. The palm stone is a tactile rather than display object - different from the tumbled stones in Whispers of Joy, the bracelets in the Bracelet Range, and the pyramids in the Abundance and Home Blessing kits.
