Nadia the time traveller heaved a sigh.
"I dropped my necklace somewhere around here when I visited the Jurassic, but I didn't note the exact destination time or the spot. And anyway, things have probably shifted around since then. You won't be able to find it..."
Cadwin the detectorist pointed to a rock. "That it?" A gold medallion & parts of a chain glinted among fossilized ammonites.
Nadia gasped. Cadwin smiled, took out a chisel & hammer, & #prized it free.
For thousands of years, #Tree #Resins known as #Frankincense (white/milky) & #Myrrh (reddish) were used to make #Sweet #Perfume, Incense, & #Medicine.
The #Trees are #Native to #Arabia & NE #Africa.
To #Collect the resins, the #Bark is cut, which allows the #Essence to seep out & dry into #Crystals.
#Nomads sold the #Prized #Aromatics, which were as #Precious as #Gold, #Gems, or #Spices.
Frankincense is #French for #Pure #Incense.
Myrrh is #Semetic for #Bitter.
