A waxy, flammable, white or transparent solid with a strong aroma. Typically stored in a clay glue pot, 3 in. high with a 4 in. diameter, sealed with a wooden lid and mastic of some form. It can be set aflame in its pot, but the flame will last but an hour (though it will illuminate an area equal to a torch).

Camphor oil will help drive off ordinary insects (½ an ounce will last 24 hours), it has no special effects against large insects. However, if rolled into small balls, it can be used to protect cloth articles from mold or insects for up to six months. About 1 ounce is needed per 5 lbs. to be protected.
