Black Frankincense Ameero-RARE!

Frankincense Ameero, (Boswellia ameero), is a tree that only grows on the island of Socotra, located between the coasts of Yemen and Somalia. Its resin is rarely found commercially since there is so little of it. It is mainly collected for use as incense by the local population of the island of Socotra.

This resin is even rarer because it is a black granular material, not the light-coloured tears that usually represent Frankincense Ameero when it is available online.

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does this frankincense smell different from others?
Reviewers describe a distinctive scent profile that departs from typical frankincense brightness. Many note earthy, smoky, spiced, and dry-sweet characteristics with hints of cinnamon and sandalwood, rather than the lemony notes common in other varieties. One reviewer found it almost animalistic in character, while another praised its warm, velvety, comforting quality.
Is this suitable for spiritual or meditative use?
Yes. The product description notes that frankincense is traditionally used to aid meditation and spiritual work and is calming to mind and spirit. Reviewers report using it in personal rituals and creative pursuits, with one noting it helps lift mood and focus during art projects.
Will I find bark or debris in the resin?
Yes, the product description explains that because Black Frankincense Ameero is naturally collected from small drips and drops on the tree's bark, you will find bits of bark mixed in with the resin. This is characteristic of the form and reflects its wild-harvested nature.
Can I use this in skincare or body products?
Yes. One reviewer successfully incorporated it into a healing salve blend with castor oil and beeswax alongside other botanicals, reporting excellent results. It can also be infused into oils like jojoba and apricot kernel according to customer experience.
Is this genuinely rare and limited in supply?
Yes. The product description states Frankincense Ameero is rarely found commercially due to limited availability, and this black granular form is even rarer than the light-coloured tears. The seller notes having only a small amount and encourages purchasing while available.
Does harvesting this resin harm the trees?
No. The product description emphasizes that Black Frankincense Ameero is a natural exudate the trees produce without tapping. Since Boswellia ameero trees are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this non-invasive collection method protects the species.
What makes this different from white Frankincense Ameero?
According to the product description, the black resin has a distinctly different aroma profile than the light-coloured tears from the same tree. Reviewers confirm the black variety offers unique earthy and spiced notes rather than the brighter character expected from traditional frankincense.

Two types of Frankincense from one tree?

In the same way we have Black and White Frankincense Neglecta, Frankincense Rivae and Kenyan Frankincense (Commiphora confusa), we have black and white Frankincense Ameero. Some tree types like Commiphora Confusa, (Kenyan Frankincense), yield 3 different resins!

Black Frankincense Ameero, like the other black Frankincense resins, is a natural exudate that the trees produce without tapping. This is of special importance in the case of Boswellia Ameero since Frankincense Ameero trees are listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List of endangered species. If we can collect the resin from the trees without damaging or disturbing them, then that is a win as far as I am concerned.

Much like its brother, Frankincense neglecta, the dark resin of Frankincense Ameero has a different aroma profile than the light-coloured tears from the same tree. Fresh, its unique fragrance could be compared to a blend of Frankincense Frereana and Black Frankincense Neglecta. 

Because Black Frankincense Ameero is aggregated from many small drips, drops and pieces that appear naturally on the tree's bark, you will find bits of bark mixed in with your resin.

I have only a small amount of this resin. Get it while you can.

Frankincense

Ruled astrologically by the Sun, all types of Frankincense are anti-inflammatory, calming to the mind and spirit and aid in meditation and spiritual work.

Frankincense has been a valuable commodity and a very important part of our global cultures, religions and trade for thousands of years, highly valued for its medicinal, spiritual and aromatic uses, it is only recently that the different types of Frankincense have been examined closely and their unique chemical compositions studied.
