LV-1265 Compartment Pendant, Bag Charm, Compartment Jewelry Camatillo & Lignum Vitae-SCREW CAP

$ 75.00


This is a mini pendant box made out of Camatillo (Dalbergia congestiflora) with Lignum Vitae (Guiacum officinale) cap.  Camatillo is a true rosewood species with a beautiful deep purple color and darker streaks.  It is one of the rarer rosewood since the tree never grow very big.  The wood is extremely fine and a pleasure to work with.  It is a species that I actively hoarding.  Genuine Lignum Vitae is quite famous for being "the densest wood in the world". The wood is also believed to have medicinal properties in its resins and chips; "Lignum Vitae" is Latin for "Wood of Life."  True Lignum is now rare and expensive.  I particularly like this combination of timbers.  

This tiny threaded vial is small enough to be worn as a pendant with a secret compartment for small daily pills or memorial keepsake. The screw-on cap ensures that your content is secured. For a permanent seal, apply a small amount of wood glue to the threads before closing.

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 9/16" x 1-1/2"
