Incense Query

It was mentioned earlier in the context of Saturnian rites that Indigo constitutes a good incense for evocations.
My question is: What exactly is Indigo as an incense? I bought some cheap and couldn't get anything like smoke from it when I burnt it. I bought a powder, pastel blue in colour. Is there another kind? A resin perhaps?

DanMy guess is that you just bought something called indigo.
The color-name indigo comes from a plant which provides the dye for such things as blue jeans. Genus Indigofera. I've never actually seen a source for it.
There is also a synthetic used in the dye industry - according to a dictionary, it is a dark-blue, water-insoluble, crystalline powder with the chemical formula C16H10N2O2, which has a bronze-like luster.
