This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Chinese Pistaschio (Pistacia chinensis) with Greenheart (Chlorocardium rodiei) cap.  Another beautiful wood with a greenish tint and beautiful figure.  The Chinese Pistashe is a nice landscaping tree with an incredible fall color display, followed by multicolor fruit clusters when all the leaves have fallen.  I used to live in a house with a tree in the front yard and loved it!  I have a block of this wood and love it, too.  This acorn was turned cross grain to show the pretty streaks, and capped with olive green Greenheart for a khaki green color theme. 

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.
