Maydi Frankincense Fragments (Lami)

A Distinctive Commercial Grade of Natural Frankincense

Maydi Frankincense Fragments, commercially known as Lami, consist of broken pieces of Al-Mashat frankincense. Although the resin is fragmented rather than whole, it retains the characteristic natural aroma and familiar aromatic qualities associated with Maydi frankincense.

Frankincense is classified into commercial grades according to tear size, sorting, cleanliness, uniformity, and overall quality. Within the grading classification described here, Lami is positioned below the large and small Al-Mashat grades, reflecting the physical form of the resin rather than indicating that it is a different botanical variety.

From Source to Marketplace

After harvesting, frankincense enters the marketplace, where it is collected, sorted, and graded. Larger, intact tears are separated from broken pieces, fragments, and smaller tears, allowing the resin to be classified according to its physical characteristics and quality.

These sorting and grading processes establish the different commercial categories. Prices vary according to the specifications of each grade, the quality of the batch, and the requirements of the buyer.

What Makes Lami Distinctive?

– Variable Piece Sizes:

The size and distribution of fragments depend on sorting and grading.

– Wholesale Suitability:

Available for commercial buyers seeking frankincense fragments.

– Distinct Commercial Value:

Priced according to its physical form, cleanliness, sorting, and overall quality.

– Traditional Applications:

May be used for purposes similar to those of other frankincense grades, depending on its specifications and intended use.

Uses

1. Chewing

Natural frankincense has traditionally been used for chewing. The suitability of a particular grade depends on the resin’s characteristics, cleanliness, and quality, as well as its intended use.

2. Incense and Fragrance

Frankincense is widely valued for its aromatic qualities and is burned as incense to release its distinctive scent in homes, gathering spaces, and during special occasions.

3. Incense Blends and Aromatic Products

Depending on its specifications and processing, frankincense fragments may be incorporated into incense blends and selected aromatic products. Suitability varies according to the formulation and intended application.

Quality Assessment and Pricing

The commercial value of Lami depends on several factors, including:

– Fragment size and consistency.

– Cleanliness and the presence of foreign matter.

– Sorting quality and the proportion of different grades.

– The condition and overall quality of each batch.

– Aroma and natural appearance.

– Order quantity and agreed supply specifications.

Each batch should therefore be assessed according to its actual characteristics before a price is established. This approach helps buyers understand the product being offered and supports clearer commercial agreements.
