This is a very pretty slim box made out of Camatillo (Dalbergia congestiflora) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap.  Camatillo is a true rosewood species with a beautiful deep purple color and darker streaks.  It is one of the rarer timber since the tree never grow very big.  The incredibly fine grain wood is a joy to work with.  The purple tone of this wood matches up with the purplish brown pattern of the betelnut perfectly!  i like this one...

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this whimsical box extra special and ensures that your content is secured.  Over-tighten the cap just a bit to lock the nut in place, you should feel some resistance with the first 1/8 of a turn when you try to open it.  Good for small daily pills, needles... Not recommended for long term storage of emergency pill, since I don't know how air/water tight the closure is. This one is a unique gift.

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 1" x 3-1/4"
