This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Black & White Ebony (Diospyros embryopteris) & Black Chacate (Guibourtia conjugata) cap. Black & White Ebony is a wood like no other: The contrast is striking, the wild pattern is even more extravagant. The black streaks are where this wood ebonized, it does not turn all black like some other ebony but creating such eye-catching pattern. The cap is not an ebony but darker than this ebony itself.  An equally striking timber, Black Chacate is comparable to ebony in all aspects, together, they made a very interesting acorn. I like this one!

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.
