How Much Does Agarwood Cost Per Gram?

Agarwood has no unified pricing; price is determined jointly by oil density, origin, form, and certification: entry-level incense sticks can be experienced for a few dozen yuan, ordinary raw material starts at hundreds of yuan per gram, high-end material costs thousands per gram, and collector-grade qinan can reach ten thousand yuan per gram.

II. What Determines the Price

1. Oil density: The fuller the oil lines and the more lustrous the texture, the more expensive it usually is;
2. Origin endorsement: Famous producing regions such as Hainan and Vietnam carry obvious premiums;
3. Form and use: Carvings, bead strings, and raw material follow different pricing logic;
4. Certification and traceability: Testing certificates are "hard currency" and the basis for reasonable premiums.

III. Key Pitfall Warnings

• Beware of the rhetoric that "sinking grade = sky-high price"; sinking grade is only a density clue;
• Low-priced "qinan" is mostly questionable; prioritize certificates over labels;
• To compare prices and identify reliable channels, visit the Agarwood Mall to see the pricing structure of legitimate products.
