Katukina Kuripe self-applicator

Beautiful, simple, Durable, and elegant!

This style is made by indigenous tribesmen of the Katukina tribe of Brazil and is carved from a single piece of wood. Since it has no seam or joint, this style is incredibly durable and will most likely never break. These also have a more blunt edge so is less likely to be damaged if dropped on end.

These kuripes are made from quality and ethically sourced hardwood. This style of kuripe is typically made with a very rough finish (unsanded and unpolished). Ours are made from your choice of a variety of high quality wood types, then polished smooth, for a nicer finish... all for the same or better price!  

 Each one measures approximately 3.5" from bottom to tip.

⚠️ Inspect upon receipt - handle with care.  Read more below. 

🖐️ Handmade & One-of-a-Kind

Each applicator is handmade using traditional methods. While the overall design is consistent, every piece is one-of-a-kind and may vary slightly in color, size, markings, geometry, or airflow. These subtle differences do not affect function and are part of the item’s authentic character. If you’d like to choose your exact piece, email us before ordering at info@spiritvisions.us.

⚠️ Warranty & Care Guidelines

Please inspect your applicator immediately upon delivery. Any damage must be reported within 3 days of tracking showing “delivered.” Due to their handmade nature, these tools are not eligible for replacement or refund if breakage is reported after this window.

Care Tips - Sacred tools require mindful attention

• Handle with care — avoid dropping, impact, pressure, or twisting (stone, wood, and resin may crack).

• Wipe exterior with light alcohol. Do not soak, use harsh chemicals, or water.

• For internal cleaning, use a Q-tip with alcohol.

• Store away from sunlight. Use a padded pouch or secure case during travel.

🌀 The Energetics of Breakage

In many traditional lineages, applicators are not just physical tools — they are energetic conduits for carrying, transmuting, and releasing emotional and spiritual energy. If an applicator breaks unexpectedly, it may signify completion: the tool may have absorbed dense energy, fulfilled its healing role, or shielded you in ways unseen. Breakage, in this light, is not a defect — it’s a message. A transition. A release.

Treat these sacred tools with reverence. As with the medicines themselves, they carry wisdom meant to be experienced.
