Happy Cat figurine, Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory)

This figurine depicts a cute kitty standing on his hind legs and smiling. It is made of Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory).  This material is sourced from the tagua palm tree, which produces a nut containing white fluids, similar to a coconut. Once the fruit ripens, the white material hardens and looks like elephant tusk materiel. PalmIvory has relaxing effects, a principle that has been conceded down through the millennium. It is a smooth “stone” with a structure that feels enjoyable in the hands. By simply rubbing such carvings between your forefinger and thumb, you can sense the soothing effect within your body.

The figurine is approximately 2.37" tall and weighs 45 grams.
