You posted that a couple of minutes before midnight. If I hadn't been asleep I would have answered that with it's own thread.

It's a resin that's used in perfumes and scents. Like whale vomit (also known as ambergris) it was - and is - very expensive.

It's a tree resin and it's not expensive at all. As kids we used it, on charcoal, for incense instead of the stench of coconuts and patchouli.
Of course, you could pay a lot if you so choose.
frankincense - Google Search[^]For example, five pounds costs US$ 71.50 or, further down the page, 45gm for US$8.

It were expensive when I were a kid. I remember one year, our mum sent us out for Frankincense, and so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Nah, but I'll believe you if you say that you ate cold gravel for breakfast and walked 40 miles to school before beeing beaten to death by your father EVERY day!

That gives me a page in Dutch of various bottles of something-or-other (I assume it's frankincense related), with descriptions that I'd have to use a translator for (despite my knowledge of Dutch), reminding me why I hate using google search.

Well - if google detects your ISP as Dutch then maybe they modify the search for your location?
I guess it's a good thing I picked out a few. The liquids are whatever they are but the frankincense is somewhat hard amorphous resin, slightly tan. Most likely, they dissolve it in something and jack up the price to compensate for giving you less.
Other thoughts: Wikipedia: Quote: The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dry resin
So long ago, but vaporizing/burning on bits of charcoal had a really nice scent.

Yes, I love it when people decide what's best for me. We mindless oafs need radiant beings to make decisions for us.

I'm actually tempted to give it a go, to see what all the fuss was about.
