This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Raja Kayu (Agathis borneensis) with Lignum Vitae (Guiacum officinale) cap. Raja Kayu (or King of Wood, Dragon Blood wood) is the most potent wood when it comes to positive energy, power, healing properites and all that good stuff. A rare and expensive wood, Rja Kayu is ultilized mostly for prayer beads. The wood is saturated with resin that turn deeper reddish orange with exposure, thus the Dragon Blood moniker. The resin also makes this wood semi tranlucent and very dense; almost as dense as Lignum, another interesting species with oily, super-dense wood. Lignum Vitae mean Tree of Life, as it has many medicinal properties beside being the hardest, most durable timber there is.
