This resin is a rarity in Madagascar and is used for ceremonial purposes, especially for the Tromba (pronounced tzrumba)
an ancient custom linked to the world of animism, not with extreme certainty the fumigation of this resin together with the ceremony helps the soul of the deceased to find the right path without obstacles of various negative spiritistic entities, therefore, simplistically speaking is a protector .

The resin is collected with rudimentary tools such as knives and spoons, given its complexity it is collected with parts of bark and wrapped in a large leaf forming wheels similar to small plates.
It will be sold with the leaf that protects the exterior.
