Description: This box measuring: 6 x 3.7 x 4.5 cm. (2 3/8" x 1 3/8" x 1 3/4"), is made from a hand-finished tagua nut (vegetable ivory). I inlaid a 18 x 13 mm. mahogany obsidian cabochon on top of the lid. Obsidian is volcanic glass that comes in many colors and patterns. The swivel lid closes tightly to keep your treasures safe. Its inner chamber’s dimensions are larger than the mouth that measures approximately: 3 x 2 x 3.2 cm. (1 1/4" x 3/4" x 1 1/4"). I filled all cracks inside, due to germination, with tagua dust and a non-toxic, acrylic furniture finish; that I then ground smooth. The third and fourth to last pictures show scale; while, the second to last picture shows more of my work and gives a better idea as to different sizes. The last picture shows a raw tagua nut, so you have a better idea what I start with. Each nut has its own unique pattern, similar to a fingerprint. Tagua nuts are a renewable product of the rain forests of Central and South America. They are a viable alternative to animal ivory.
