Coco-De-Mer Nut

A genuine ,polished, Coco-De-Mer nut from the Seychelles. Approximately 70 years old, no seeds inside.
The nut of the Coco de Mer, a species of rare palm tree which is endemic only to the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, is very large (the largest seed in the plant kingdom) and is oddly shaped, being the shape and size of a woman's disembodied buttocks on one side, and a woman's thighs on the other side. Not surprisingly, this nut was viewed by people in other parts of the world as a rare and fascinating object with mythological and even magical properties. The nature and origin of this extraordinary nut was mysterious, and the propagation of the tree was not understood. A number of legends arose both about the nuts, and about the trees that produce them.
