About Frankincense or Olibanum : The
urdu word for frankincense, luban clearly comes the Arabic
al-luban
meaning ‘the milk’ which refers to the colour of the highest quality
frankincense, which is milky tree sap which exudes from the cut bark of
the frankincense tree and allowed to dry onto the tree before it is
collected. By that time it is a hard resin. It comes in different shades
which depend on the season in which it is gathered. It is whiter in
autumn, and gets darker as the season changes to spring. It can be a
pale lemon colour, or pale green and pale or dark amber. It is harvested
two or three times a year and the best frankincense comes from young
trees.
