Rosin is made from the sap of pine trees and other conifers. It is made by mixing various tree saps, purifying them and pouring the mixture into molds to set. Rosin is semi-transparent and is usually dark to light red in color, but can also come in black and red.

Gold and silver can also sometimes be added to high-grade rosin to increase friction. This is not really necessary, it is done more out of whimsy than for any useful purpose. This is also why the most expensive rosin cakes cost thousands of dollars.
