From Hebrew 'almugim' or 'algumim,' referring to precious exotic wood imported during biblical times. The term appears in accounts of King Solomon's wealth and trade.
Almug wood appears in biblical descriptions of Solomon's temple, making it one of history's most famous luxury imports—ancient traders risked their lives sailing monsoon routes to bring it to Jerusalem.
