This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Purpleheart (Peltogyne paniculata) with Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) cap. Purpleheart is astriking wood with the unusual color. The timber is brown when freshly cut but oxidizes to a bright violet purple and eventually to a dark purple with age. Verawood is another one with unusual color. It turns from golden yellow to dark green upon exposure to sunlight. This acorn combines these chameleons of the timber world. The colors also go together exceptionally well together and is a recurrent theme in my design.

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 daily pills, cash stash, keepsake... Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
