It is derived from either semi-fossilized specimens or as exudations on species Hymenaea verrucosa. The most valued pieces are fossilized specimens found embedded in the earth over a wide belt of East Africa on the western coast of Zanzibar, on tracts where not a tree is now visible. Zanzibar copal is a very hard, smooth, and shiny resin that is used to make a dark oil varnish, for fumigation, and in perfumery. Some specimens of Zanzibar copal are misrepresented as amber.
