Genuine Socotra Dragon's Blood
 
Socotra Dragon blood resin is harvested only on this Yemeni island in the Arabian Sea, located off the tip of Somalia's Puntland.
 
Unlike Indonesian Dragon Blood (Daemonorops draco), which comes from the fruit of a palm tree, this is the resin of a tree, the majestic and remarkably beautiful mushroom-shaped Socotra Dragon Tree. This tree grows naturally on this arid soil to form splendid landscapes that look like they came out of the imagination of science-fiction film set designers.
 
Beware!
Many dealers sell anything and everything under the name of Dragon's Blood. If you buy this kind of resin in India, for example, you can be almost sure that you are getting a counterfeit product, either in part or in whole.
This is even more true for powdered resin...
