Jual Gum Copal
Gum kopal is most commonly found in East Africa and Indonesia, but is also found in tropical regions such as South America, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Throughout history, amber and gum copal have been mistaken for each other, as it is extremely difficult to tell the difference between the two. However, a drop test using an alcohol or other solvent will leave amber unaffected, while copal’s surface will become sticky. A heat test can also be used as amber will soften and blacken its surface and copal will begin to melt.

Another key difference between the two lies in what specimens are inside the material. As both amber and gum copal are produced from tree sap hardening, insects and other organisms can be trapped inside (an idea which provided the basis for DNA extraction in Jurassic Park). Depending on whether this organism can still be found alive in the present or recent past can give reference to the age and identification of the sample.

COMMERCIAL GRADE

- DBB grade is pebble-sized and whitish yellow in color with about 90-95% purity. This is an economy grade, ideal for production of low-end varnishes. Its solubility is good. It can contain some black copal, but it is still easily dissolved in alcohol solvent mixtures. It is the most common grade for use in incense.
- White soft (WS) is the lowest grade of copal, larger chunks, black in color with about 60% purity. The impurities include tree bark and soil. The powder leftover from the processing of PWS and DBB is usually used for varnish.
