Handcrafted by artisans within our collective in the Peruvian Amazon, each kuripe reflects traditional carving techniques and the character of its natural materials.

Unlike wood or bone applicators, black serpentine offers a naturally substantial feel while remaining comfortable to use. The carefully carved angles promote a consistent airflow, and each piece is individually shaped by hand, making every kuripe unique.

Because serpentine is a natural stone, each kuripe displays its own distinctive color, veining, and pattern variations, adding to the character of every handcrafted piece.

Carving Options

• Jaguar: Represents protection, courage, and the wisdom to move between the seen and unseen, carrying the strength traditionally associated with the forest.
  
• Eagle-Condor: Symbolizes vision, perspective, and the wisdom of the upper world, honoring clarity and a broader view.
  

As a natural stone, serpentine should be handled with care to help preserve its beauty. We recommend storing your kuripe in one of our handcrafted zippered pouches when traveling or between uses for added protection.
