What's the difference between precious wood and ordinary wood? Is it an IQ tax?

Wood is the main product of forestry, which brings a lot of support to our life. And according to the different properties of wood, there are different ways to use it. Wood also brings a lot of convenience to our daily life, and we can't live without it. Some kinds of wood can be worth thousands of dollars, such as Daphne, rosewood and so on. But others think it's all wood. Why buy such expensive wood? Because these precious Woods are expensive, because they are very rare, and they have not only commercial use, but also medicinal value.

First, the priceless wood-agarwood is not entirely wood, it is a tree tumor condensed from the objects secreted by agarwood. When agarwood has a wound, it secretes resin to protect the wound. When this resin reaches a certain level, it is agarwood. It takes a long time for agarwood to grow into a very good appearance, sometimes it takes decades to hundreds of years. The value of good agarwood can reach one gram of gold. Since ancient times, people have thought that agarwood is a precious medicinal material, which can soothe the nerves, relieve asthma and concentrate. It can also treat heart and digestive diseases. At the same time, the handicrafts of agarwood can ward off evil spirits, and it is a treasure trove of geomantic omen.

Second, the royal style-rosewood is familiar to everyone, and some people's bracelets are made of lobular rosewood. This tree is mainly produced in India. Red sandalwood has been a precious furniture material for the royal family since the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China, because its wood is very hard and oily. As long as the furniture made from it is very high-end and luxurious and low-key, it is the favorite furniture variety of many collectors. And the value of rosewood is not cheap, the cheapest one ton is 65438+ 10,000 yuan. Now India, the country of origin, also restricts exports, so its value has soared rapidly. In particular, the price of lobular rosewood is soaring, because it takes 500 years for this tree to become wood, so its value is now more expensive than gold.

In addition to agarwood and rosewood, yellow pear wood and red rosewood are very valuable wood. Because their output is small, it takes hundreds of years to grow into useful products, so their value is very expensive. This precious wood is not only a good material for making furniture, but also a handicraft for everyone to enjoy. Some precious wood also has medicinal value. So a piece of wood can't just look at its price, but more importantly, its value.
