Would that hard resin be turned back into an essential oil, Oldgunner ?

They can make oils and creams out of it. Neal's Yard do a lot of products with Frankincense as the main ingedient.

Lovely pic OG. It's my favourite oil. Did you watch the BBC2 series, The Frankicense Trail ? Totally fascinating
