Vegetable Ivory

2008: Digging through the web I've just discovered vegetable ivory and the tagua nut. See links below:
"Tagua, also known as corozo, is a name used for the tagua nut in the South American rainforest. When dried out, it can be carved as an ivory replica." Source

Hi There,

If you like Tagua (vegetable ivory), you should take a look at our web site at http://www.pueblito.ca for some examples of jewelry made out of this great material.

Thanks!
