Wood I.d. please

[RWL5420]

I picked up this small block of wood that has a label on it. I can't find the name in the dictionary, or in a internet search. So I hope someone here that knows much more then I do knows what this stuff is.

I was told it came S.E. Asia

Also spelled Gmelia or Gmelina I believe.

If I'm wrong someone correct me please.

Hope this helps.

I don't know anything about it other than I'm jealous you have it and I don't! Awesome colors and grain pattern.

Thank you for the help. That is what caught my eye, I think it is a beautiful wood. I am having a hard time wanting to do anything with this block, I enjoy looking at it the way it is... lol
