Poly Xiamen 2025 Autumn Auction Ignites "Kyara Fever": Green Kyara Raw Material Estimated at Up to RMB 5 Million

Timeless Treasures: Agarwood Takes Center Stage at Autumn Auction

Poly Xiamen's 2025 autumn auction "renewed" its luxury department, covering incense sticks, bracelets, raw materials, and carved ornaments from multiple producing regions. Lot 1857 — a collected-grade sunken Vietnamese Nha Trang green kyara raw material (690g) — carries an estimate of RMB 3,850,000–5,000,000; Lot 1856, a sunken white kyara bracelet from Nha Trang (35.9g), is estimated at RMB 850,000–1,200,000, underscoring the capital appeal of scarce incense material.

Behind the market heat lies the dual support of scarcity and traceability. Industry data show that top-tier Nha Trang kyara bracelets have surpassed RMB 10 million per strand with per-gram prices above RMB 200,000; meanwhile, customs in Shenzhen, Kunming and elsewhere have successively seized multiple cases of illegally mailing or carrying endangered agarwood, reminding collectors to use legal channels and retain source and authentication certificates.

Collecting Tips

High-value materials demand "one item, one certificate." Collectors are advised to prioritize lots with CMA/CNAS test reports and raw-material traceability certificates, and to beware of so-called "bargains" far below market averages. This article is an industry observation and science-popularization compilation and does not constitute any trading or investment advice; please purchase agarwood through legal channels and insist on traceable, testable sources.
