This is a very cute mushroom threaded box made out of Raffia Palm Nut (Raphia hookeri) cap & Buckeye (Aesculus californica) stalk. The Raphia nut (yes, this is the palm that yield the Raphia fiber of the trade), with it's random spots, makes a great mini mushroom cap. Raphias are monster palms, with leaves up to 82 feet long! The longest leaves in the plant kingdom. This nut came from a tree that was already death, since Raphia species only bloom once then the whole tree, or the flowering trunk, would die from the effort. This greenish cap was paired with the bluish California buckeye for an interesting mushroom species.

This threaded box can be used to hold small valuables...The screw-on cap ensured that your content is secured; also serves as a unique gift for nature lovers.
