plants: Chilim

in Astrakhan found in one amazing place washed up on the shore of a unique exotic fruit now Chilim nut. LAST YEAR'S STOCK! new ones are still growing)
Chestnuts — a nut in a hard shell odd shape with a size of 3-5 cm, growing like a weed. This relict plant, having come to us from ancient times. In our days it can be found in a limited number of places, beyond which it is not coming. Biologists refer to such species the term "endemic"
The uniqueness of this nut in its mysterious shape and the positive "magical" properties, which endow it legends and beliefs. It is believed that it brings good fortune and protects the house. For these reasons, in those places where it occurs, it can often be seen as a part of Souvenirs, and a separate women's jewelry.
Sometimes a nut just paint no lacquer coating, in other cases, generally use "as is".

Often Chillum is used for making original earrings. They are usually black (although you can use any paint), but its natural color and Gothic forms, apparently predispose to the color schemes, combined with the color of the night.
It is worth noting that these earrings are not prickly, as it may seem, and they are light (after the shell-the shell of the nut inside is empty).
Decorate with chestnuts not only the house itself and not only in the Gothic or ethnic style, but, for example... the Christmas tree! )) You need to take a few lings and paint in different colors, can add accessories — get beautiful and fun! These unique Christmas decorations can give to friends. Remember? Chillum brings good fortune and protects the house.!!!
