General Information:
Myrrh is native to Africa and Asia. The tree grows to a height of about 9 to 15 feet and has yellow-red flowers followed by small fruits. In ancient times, myrrh was highly prized and more widely used than any other aromatic oil in perfumes, anointing oils, incense, ointments, medicines, and for embalming purposes.
The characteristic is rounded or irregular tears or lumps of agglutinated tears of variable sizes. The color is brownish-yellow to reddish-brown or almost black. The surface is mostly covered with a greyish or yellowish powder. The internal surface is yellowish or reddish-brown, sometimes marked with white spots or lines; brittle; fracture, waxy, granular, conchoidal and yields thin translucent fragments.
