Kewl.

how interesting ! - looks like you're getting closer to an ID. I hope you find out what it is - would like to know. Thanks for posting this.

Interesting...looks chiseled out of wood

Yeah it annoys me to see that since I am often surrounded by the real "sagu".

They do look very much like a Metroxylon sagu nut: http://palmweb.org/?q=cdm_dataportal/tax...

There seems to be a whole heap of confusing on the net about this Palm, with loads of pictures showing Cycads, especially the 'Sago Palm' Cycas revoluta but labelled with the name Metroxylon. I'd be surprised if it was a Cycad seed and not a Palm

They look so nice..Wonder what it is ..

I think it is some sort of cycad seed, I just don't know what.

Can't be, but looks somewhat like (the outside of) a sago (Metroxylon sagu) nut.

They look like pineapple acorns. HA! Cool!

I would assume so but I'm not sure. My aunt was given them to try and identify and she's not sure where they came from.

there really pretty , are they like a pine cone ? what does the tree look like? are they from a tree?

These are really beautiful! Hope you get an ID.
