This is a mini acorn box made out of Desert Ironwood (Olneya tesota) with African Blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon) cap. Desert Ironwood is hard and heavy like a piece of iron, but with the shimmering of gold and the smoothness of glass when polished. It is probably the nicest looking wood from North America. The American Indian believes that the wood will bring luck and good health to the people who carries it. The dense blackwood adds contrast to this dark acorn.  I like this one!

This pretty acorn has a small secret compartment for daily pills or memorial keepsake. The screw-on cap ensures that your content is secured, yet can be easily accessed. It is equipped with an antique bronze lobster claw (removable via the double split ring) for easy attachment to keychain, bag charm, zipper pull...
