Tagua Nut Pipe, Half Polished finish, Handmade, Fairtrade Pure Vegetable Ivory

Production Method:A whole dried Tagua seed (aka vegetable ivory) is drilled through to create the two main holes: the chamber on top and the lip on the back (a metallic screen is included on the chamber). The Tagua Palm grows in the northern region of the South American rainforest (mainly Colombia and Ecuador). When the fruit from the palm is ripe it falls to the ground releasing the fresh Tagua seeds. Now, the seeds are harvested and set out to dry for 6 to 9 months to become rock solid resembling ivory in color, texture, and hardness. Now the Tagua seeds are ready to be polished in a tumbler and then drilled to become beautiful vegetable ivory pipes for Florama's tagua collection
