Why is there such a big gap between West Malaysia and East Malaysia?

Speaking of Malaysian agarwood, I believe many friends have seen it, but what friends may not know is that although the agarwood of East Malaysia and West Malaysia belongs to Malaysia, the gap is actually very large. And this gap is not just a gap in quality and taste. In terms of price, the orthodox Xima agarwood is about 30% higher than Madong agarwood.

First, geographically. West Malaysia borders Thailand in the north and faces Sumatra Island in Indonesia across the Straits of Malacca. Accordingly, East Malaysia is a part of kalimantan island. Since ancient times, Xima has been one of the important producing areas of agarwood. Because the Malay Peninsula extends downward from Vietnam and southern Thailand, agarwood from West Malaysia will be classified as "Huian system" in a broad sense. Of course, Xiang is also close to Hui 'an system, but it is quite different from Xingzhou system.

Second, the taste. Sima has many levels of changes in fragrance. When smoking, if you just throw it into the electric furnace to make the room full of fragrance, then the difference between fragrance and Nha Trang can be said to be very small; However, if smoked with carbon, it can be clearly felt that the aroma temperature of Xima is lower than that of Nha Trang, the aroma power is slightly worse than that of Nha Trang, and the aroma layering is thinner than that of Nha Trang. Under the same proportion, the price of West Malaysia is lower than that of Nha Trang and Hui 'an producing areas. Therefore, Xima is more suitable for large-space aromatherapy than Nha Trang, and Nha Trang old materials are more suitable for tasting carbon fumigation, otherwise it is a bit wasteful.

Because of the above two points, coupled with the relatively small output of agarwood in Xima, the submerged output is lower than that in Kalimantan and other places, so it has become a first-line producing area, while Madong is a second-line producing area.

Third, talk about the appearance characteristics. Xima's grease line is very delicate. The agarwood of Xima in the north is slightly khaki, while Xima near the south is black and white. In addition, the oil line of Xima agarwood is not full, even the oil holes are empty, and the appearance is not black or bright, which is similar to the dark color of Huian but fragrant, but it cannot be compared with Huian.

Although the quality of Xima agarwood is relatively high, it is also divided into three or six grades. Xima agarwood can also be divided into black oil, red oil, butter, thin line and thick line. Usually, the material of fine thread butter should be selected and submerged, which is the qualified collection phase. In particular, Xima agarwood has sufficient oil density, delicate texture and filiform, and belongs to the top agarwood of Xingzhou Department. If the shape is strange, you don't need any artificial carving. Both the color and the texture of the oil are indicators of expert evaluation, which is quite enjoyable.

Ma Dong also has high-quality agarwood, such as Qin 'an species and Qin 'an species. To soft silk chess, especially near Brunei (it must be noted that it is not Qinan), the oil is soft and dense, and it is the first-class material of hand beads. Xu's green chess is ripe and fragrant, and it is wet and soft. Dry naturally in the shade, and when the water disappears, it will become hard. But the entrance also has the feeling of bitterness and numbness, and it also has the smell of chess. In Vietnam, it is often mixed with logs and green chess, but it tastes like Vietnamese white chess. Ma Dong's log black chess is produced near the border of Kalimantan. Oil is squeezed by rocks. When born, it has obvious sweet rhyme of chess. Occasionally, there will be natural works of art with special shapes, and such products are also very rare and precious.

Of course, after talking about Ma Dong's special agarwood, let's finally talk about Ma Dong's ordinary agarwood. The value of the common submerged madong hard silk oil in the market is similar to that of Kalimantan, Indonesia, and it is all the materials for making high-grade hand beads or carving. High-quality Ma Dong agarwood carving, with the power of Kalimantan oil silk, is similar to the aroma characteristics of Hui 'an, and is a collection-level sculpture; As long as you sink into the water, everything is worth grasping. It's hard to get it again if you miss it.
