Polar Bear Figurine/Statue made of Tagua Fruit (AKA Palm FruitIvory)

This amazingly detailed Polar Bear figurine (or small statue) 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 material. 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 rabbit is a symbol of longevity and good fortune.

This item is approximately 2.94" long and weighs 114 grams.
