The only thing I can find for sale is the essential oil, and that isn1t the right stuff. If you have any info, please email me privately at jackson2 at apple.com.

Looking in the spices-msg file in my Stefan's Florilegium, I find one specific
source and one
general source. There are also other spice sources listed in the file and they
might also
be worth trying. I have pasted the two messages from this file below.

The file:
spices-msg        (80K) 12/ 3/97    Info. on spices, sources for spices.

can be found in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section, although these messages
were recently added and
are probably not in the file at the website, yet.

Francesco Sirene, Spicer, sells saunders (red sandalwood).  He has a web
site offering a good variety of stuff.  The spices he carries can be found
at:

        http://www.silk.net/sirene/spices.htm

I'm sending off an order for a bunch of stuff, including saunders, as
soon as I make it to the post office and find out how much postage a
letter to Canada requires.  :-)

     I've also seen it at middle eastern groceries.
