Leblanc's Opus, as mentioned by Irwin, has the most beautiful unstained grenadilla wood I've ever seen. Part of a joy of owning a fine wood instrument is the natural beauty of the wood.
The grenadilla is a magnificent wood because it's made from the Acacia tree, or as it's sometime called, the African Blackwood tree. Acacia is considered "incorruptible" wood and a similar wood was specified for building Noah's ark, and later--the Ark of the Covenant. So, spit away for 40 days and 40 nights and you won't "drown" your clarinet.
