A:1 Kings 10:12: "And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day."

On the biblical account above, Solomon used this apparently precious wood to make pillars for the temple and his palace, plus harps and psalteries. In spite of his supposed divinely gifted wisdom, he destroyed all the almug trees which is why they are no longer seen anywhere. In Solomon's defence, it could be pointed out that the story of the Queen of Sheba is considered a late insertion into his story, dating from around the time of the Babylonian Exile.
