These large nuts
caused a great deal of mystery for hundreds of years. They were found floating
on the sea and no-one knew where they came from. Eventually it was discovered
that they originated in the Seychelles. They are much sought after due to their
decorative an erotic appearance. This is a particularly beautiful and
spectacular example.
