Hyraceum

Hyraceum, or "African Stone", is the petrified and stonelike excrement of the animal hyrax. The animal lives in Africa and the Middle East. The little creature resembles a hamster, is the size of a rabbit but the closest living relative is actually the elephant.

Hyraceum diluted with alcohol reveals a complex animal scent that can be described as a mixture of musk, civet, tobacco and agar wood.
