Agarwood is formed by the deposition of resin-containing wood over many years, and agarwood has been a very valuable wood since ancient times, and it is also the best raw material for handicrafts.
Due to the natural condensation of agarwood, the size and shape are very different, and the ancients took a lot of interesting names for its characteristics, such as: tooth incense, leaf incense, chicken bone incense, light incense, water pantou, "quick temporary incense" and so on. Some of the ingeniously shaped agarwood can also be used as ornaments.
The width of the water in agarwood is mostly no more than ten centimeters, and the length is not more than a few tens of centimeters; The high-quality ones are generally denser, even as hard as mountain stones; The surface is very uneven; The color is mostly green, dark green, yellow, brown or black, the grease part is dark, and the xylem is lighter yellow-white, mixed into various textures; Water agarwood with high oil content tends to be darker in color and moist in texture, which is easy to ignite, and even boiling agarwood can be seen when burning.

First of all, there is its prerequisite – the agarwood tree.
The four major tree species of Oliveaceae, Camphoraceae, Ruixiangaceae and Euphorbiaceae are all capable of producing agarwood. Among them, the best quality agarwood often comes from the agarwood tree of the Ruixiang family. However, the incense-setting process of agarwood trees in the Ruixiang family is long, and its requirements for agarwood conditions are particularly high, so the proportion of incense-forming trees in this type of tree species is low.
Secondly, there is its complex process of forming incense - the wound plus a long process of alcoholization.
After being injured by lightning strikes, wind and sand erosion, insect and ant bites, knives and axes, or animals, agarwood trees will form wounds, and if these wounds do not heal in a short period of time, their surrounding tissues may be infected by bacteria and cause lesions. At this point, the resin in the agarwood tree will start to work like the body's immune system, mutating into a paste-like lump of oil. This is to prevent the wood tissue from festering due to the lesion, and this oil block will continue to spread along the wooden ducts of the agarwood tree when it is used as a carrier, and after a period of alcoholization reaction, it will form a mixture of oil and wood.
This process is the process of making incense.

Trees that are more than twenty or thirty years old are more mature and vigorous, so that they have enough ability to resist for a long time after being infected by fungi, so as to produce high-quality wild agarwood. If the tree is too young and still young, although there is a possibility of incense, the fragrance should not be too good, and it is easy to die under the invasion of a large area of fungus. If you want to truly understand agarwood, it is not enough to learn from a paragraph or an article.
It is recommended that the subject still buy an agarwood primer and learn it systematically. Recommend "Solving the Mystery of Agarwood Investment Collection".

Agarwood is a white wood incense in the natural damage, such as lightning strikes, wind breaks, insects and other factors by the surface of the tree body damage, at this time a large number of bacteria in the damaged place to breed, the trunk of agarwood is invaded by fungi in the process of self-repair secretion of oil by fungal infection, the tree body due to its own healing, the condensation into secretions, after the accumulation of time, it will form a root nodules almost a piece of things after many years of accumulation will form balsam, become a valuable medicinal material, with aroma, is agarwood.
Agarwood is now not abundant in large quantities, and wild ones have become very scarce. True agarwood is also known as because of its high density and can sink underwater''Agarwood incense''。It takes a long time for the agarwood tree to be formed from the lesion to the beginning of incense, and the yield is small.
Therefore, it is in short supply in the market, which is very precious and has a high collection value. Agarwood has a wide range of uses in the market, and is widely popular in spices, medicine, jewelry and other markets. The wood of agarwood is very valuable in the furniture industry.
Mature incense tree, by the wind and rain, thunder and lightning and other external damage, the incense tree is in the instinct of self-repair, secreting resin to the wound, during the wound also encountered some fungi, by the fungus infection, so that a series of chemical reactions occur, after long-term alcoholization, the organic compounds produced by these chemical changes and the wood fiber of the incense tree are mixed, solidified to form agarwood.
