Sandarac resin, aka "Avar Tree" is obtained from tears of the Cypress Sandarac tree that grows in the Atlas region in Morocco. The gum leaks from the bark and branches of the tree and hardens in the air. In most cases, the pieces have a long oval or cylindrical form up to 4 cm long. Sandarac gives off a Frankincense-like balsamic, light and fruity fragrance and produces clarifying, strengthening and cleansing effects. It neutralizes illness causing tension indoors and clears the air. Burning the resin alone produces a lot of smoke.
