Smart boy!

Those are resin encrusted wood of the Aquilaria malaccensis aka Agarwood. You know, the stuff the Arabs use like crazy? It is also known as The Wood of the Gods which is endemic to our region. In weight, it is more costlier than gold. It is one of the projects of my business in the R&D of this tree for commercial planting. Historically, it has been in use pre Biblical times.
