Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SANDARACH (Fr. sandaraque, Lat. sandaraca, Gr. ravbapbsrl, realgar or red sulphide of arsenic, cf. Pers. sandarus, Skt. sindura, realgar) , in
mineralogy
  realgar or native arsenic disulphide, but generally (a use found in Dioscorides) a resinous
body
  obtained from the small coniferous tree Callitris quadrivalvis, native of the north-west regions of Africa, and especially characteristic of the
Atlas
  mountains. The
resin
 , which is procured as a natural exudation on the stems, and also obtained by making incisions in the bark of the trees, comes into commerce in the form of small round balls or elongated tears, transparent, and having a delicate yellow tinge. It is a little harder than mastic, for which it is sometimes substituted. It is also used as
incense
 , and by the
Arabs
  medicinally as a remedy for diarrhoea. It has no medicinal advantages over many of the resins employed in
modern
  therapeutics. An analogous
resin
  is procured in
China
  from Callitris sinensis, and in S. Australia, under the name of pine gum, from C. Reissii.
