Vegetable Ivory
There is a unique type of Palm tree that grows in the Amazon which produces a nut called Tagua or Vegetable Ivory. The use of this renewable natural material is a sustainable alternative to fine quality animal Ivory. The dark brown skin of the nut can be sanded and carefully polished to achieve the different textures.
