Sleeping Baby Mermaid figurine made of Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory)

This Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory) figurine depicts a cute Baby Mermaid curled up in sleep.  Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory) 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 ivory. Palm Ivory 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 2.75" wide and weighs 99 grams.
