This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Bois de Rose (Dalbergia maritima) with Verawood ((Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap. Bois de Rose is one of the rarest and most beautiful types of true rosewood from Madagasca. The timber has a unique deep reddish purple tone that darken with time. The wood is often adorned with dark veins as shown in this acorn. This beautiful timber is increasingly difficult to obtain, as all legal exports have stopped permanently. Verawood is a fine, hard and heavy wood (also known as Argentine Lignum Vitae) with a nice green patina after exposure. I really like this color combination!

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured, good for jewelry, keepsake... Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
