How to identify the authenticity of Vietnamese agarwood bracelets?

Agarwood is said by some people to be rare in the sky, as if it is the only one left on the earth.

However, agarwood has continued to appear in the cultural and entertainment market, and every seller is saying that they are genuine and precious. The point is that there are so many sellers, each with a lot of goods, as if they will never be sold out.

This agarwood is an arbor that can secrete resin. In the place where the resin is immersed in the trunk of the tree, it can be used not only medicinally, but also made into bracelets, and burned as incense.

Because this kind of tree is very heavy, when put into water, it can sink into the water, and it has a special aroma, so it is called agarwood.

If you buy real agarwood, it seems that you will get it in the Chinese medicine shop. There may be shoddy and counterfeit ones in today's Chinese medicine shops.

There is a counterfeit in the agarwood world, and the tree also has a very beautiful pattern, which is very similar to the pattern of agarwood, but it is not the same kind of tree. Due to the large production of this tree, it is becoming less and less valuable, so much so that it has become the best material for counterfeit agarwood.

If this kind of tree is very rare, it may be fried to the sky by speculators. Now the agarwood bracelet starts with 10,000 characters at every turn, and it often buys fakes. If you want to buy, you really have to be a connoisseur.

The so-called agarwood is actually white wood incense, which is a medicinal substitute for agarwood. Agarwood is the part that has been buried in the ground for thousands of years or even longer without decaying, and it has many effects, because the yield is very small, and it can only be replaced by white wood incense. Now the Internet hype, the white wood incense is defined as agarwood, and the agarwood that has been buried underground for thousands of years is called "earth agarwood", which is a big joke in the world!

Through advertisements, "senior experts" posts, lectures, etc., unscrupulous merchants have deceived consumers for many years by deceiving consumers with "guanxiang", that is, white wood incense, which has little value!

It should be noted that no living plants have been found in the place where the soil agarwood was unearthed, and the burial age, buried external force and the reason for the "extinction" of the species are unknown. There are many versions of the story in this regard, which are extremely mysterious. As for the question of what family agarwood belongs to, no one can say clearly, because no living plants have been found at all.

What is certain is that the soil agarwood is different from the "agarwood" planted in many places now, or "guanxiang" in clear terms, whether it is from the wood, smell or texture, there are great differences. Soil agarwood is the product of thousands of years of geological movement accumulation, is a non-renewable resource, and the number of unearthed is extremely limited. Unlike "Guanxiang", which can be planted, there can be a steady supply of goods, which is conducive to speculation.

For a long time, traditional Chinese medicine has been replaced by white wood incense, that is, "guan incense", because of the scarcity of "soil agarwood", but the medicinal effect of white wood incense is far from comparable with earth agarwood! As for the perspective of "incense", only people who really love incense and have no commercial practices can taste it slowly, and their words can be trusted.
