Really Red Iranian Henna...and Henna in Crock

I have made contact with Dr. Atabaki in Iran to purchase some of his
henna. He sells in really large quantities. Way more than is needed
for personal use. If there is enough interest in this henna I will
order it and offer it for sell. Catherine has a pic of Iranian henna
on her site. I have tried to link it below. Hope it works. Please
let me know if you would have any interest in this product. There is
no sense in my ordering such quantity and having to will it to my
ancestors. Maybe this is how captalism begins.

Also, does anyone know of a good or bad reason why henna powder
should not be preserved in a crock. I have some small and medium
sized glazed crocks and bottles made of terra cotta and clay and
wanted to put some of my henna powder in them. The powders always
seem to come in boxes and plastic wrap. I am sure that powders were
stored in something other than cardboard and plastic back in the
day. I imagine crocks were used to keep things fresh. But I don't
know if switching to the boxes and plastic is about convenience alone
or if the boxes and plastic actually will keep the henna powder
fresher longer. I remove my cooking flour, pan cake mix and corn
meal from the paper and cardboard boxes and bags and store them
almost forever in glazed ceramic or glass containers...but I don't
know if we are talking about the same thing with henna. I would
appreciate your thoughts on what you think would happen to henna over
time in such containers? Thanks.

p.s. I got Catherine's book today and it is well worth getting.
Anyone getting the book probably has Catherine's drawing of "Reverend
Bunny"...this is the cutest, funniest and most honery bunny ever!
Go 'head Catherine!
