LV-2805 White Ironwood & Hala Acorn Pendant Box, Pill Fob, Secret Compartment-SCREW CAP

$ 58.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of White Ironwood (Vepris carringtoniana) with Hala (Pandanus chamissonis) cap.  This African native Ironwood is not often seen.  I managed to obtain a few pen blank of it but not much else.  The wood is bright yellow and, of course, hard.  Local people use this wood for poles and clubs.  Various parts of this plant also have medicinal properties.  The hard-to-thread Royal Palm cap add visual interest to this bright acorn.  Hala is one of the more common seashore plants in the islands. Fruits are edible and the long leaves contain valuable fiber used for weaving. The fruit resembles a pineapple.  The wood looks like red palm, but brighter in color and harder.  Only very old tree form the woody outer ring on it's trunk, thus this timber is not common and only available as small pen blanks.  Here in this acorn is two seldom seen material.

A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured. It is ready to dangle off your keychain, bag zipper, belt with the removable lobster claw. The nut is small enough to be worn as a pendant (without the claw). Good for small daily pills, keepsake...Not recommended for long term storage of emergency pill, since I don't know how air/water tight the closure is. Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
