Raya Kemuning Hitam or Black Gold wood, is a popular wood in Malaysia and Indonesia.
It is said to protect the hunters from wild animals and poisonous bites.
They also believe soaking it in water and drinking the water will cure illness.
They made it into kris, daggers, rings and Tashib (Muslim prayer beads)

I do not see this often here in Singapore. People in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand use it as a protection against black magic and curses.

There is a good collection at B2 of Chinatown Point Shopping mall, at a shop beside a barber shop.
