Description: The pod is slit across the top, Hollowed out and left to dry. A series of Elephants is then carved and placed inside with a slightly larger Elephant carved to seal the mouth of the tiny Circassian seed. Hindu legend states that the owner of this seed will be granted a secret wish for each miniature hand-carved elephant contained inside. As the Circassian seed comes from the "kunda-mani" which is the "good luck tree" of India. Known as manjadikuru in India—Circassian Seeds in the United States and Britain, and Jumbie Beads in the Caribbean—the little elephant-filled seed cases are good-luck charms sometimes described as "magical seeds". Of all the thousands of species of seed-bearing plants on earth, Circassian seeds are certainly one of the most beautiful. Made in India
