Beschrijving

This awesome specimen is very well preserved and old enough so it does not need the CITES certificate. Furthermore, this unpolished coco de mer has an awesome wide and symmetrical shape which is particularly rare, especially since it is in great conditions.

The Coco de mer is the largest seed and one of the most wanted natural art object. This coco grows on the island of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles and have a very suggestive shape.

The ripe fruit is heavy (15kg to 25kg), so it cannot float on the water, it sinks instead until the flesh inside the fruit decomposes and then resurface thanks to gases inside. This is why we thought for a long time that this was the fruit of an unknown marine tree, hence the name “sea coconut”.

Prince William and his new wife Kate Middleton had one at the end of their 10-day honeymoon in Seychelles.

Coco de mer are also called “coco fesse” and there are very rare now.

This specimen is sold with the wooden stand which highlights the coco. The coco de mer can be easily removed from the stand thanks to a small screw inserted into the coconut.

Natural imperfections, such as cracks or irregularities, may be visible, as this is a natural item.
