A precious wood of great rarity when mature like these.   Santalum elipticum is a treasure similar to the highest grades of Mysore Sandalwood from India.  This particular group is even more special because they have more oil (and aroma) than even normal good sandalwood.  This is why the color is darker in this group, rather than the usual yellowish color.      A premium incense, carving and turning wood, as well as an oustanding wood for very special handles.     We have very little left, once it is gone, we have no way to get more.
