LV-3557  Desert Ironwood & Betelnut Acorn Pendant Box, Charm, Pill Holder-SCREW CAP

LV-3557 Desert Ironwood & Betelnut Acorn Pendant Box, Charm, Pill Holder-SCREW CAP

$ 58.00


This is a small acorn shaped box made out of Desert Ironwood (Olneya tesota) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap.  Desert Ironwood is probably the nicest looking wood from North America,  very hard, heavy, polished up to a glassy finish and the swirly grain shimmers like gold.  The American Indian believes that the wood will bring luck and good health to the people who carries it.  I am already feeling very lucky to have a few nice pieces to work with!  The Betelnut palm cap adds visual interest to this already lustrous acorn.

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured. It is ready to dangle off your keychain, bag zipper, belt with the removable lobster claw. The nut is small enough to be worn as a pendant (without the claw). Good for small daily pills, keepsake...Not recommended for long term storage of emergency pill, since I don't know how air/water tight the closure is. For a permanent seal, apply a small amount of wood glue to the threads before closing. Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
