Urchin Pod/Bolsa Pastor Seed Pod

Urchin pods, also known as Bolsa Pastor seed pods are from the Zeyheria montana tree.   They are a textured, interesting-shaped botanical.  The outer textured area does rub off easily, but the shell of the pod is very sturdy. Product Details: Source Location:  Brazil Size:  Highly variable.  Approximately 3 inches to 6 inches long, and approximately 1.25 inches to 2.5 inches wide. 100% Natural: Organically sourced and naturally dried, these pods are free from artificial chemicals, making them a safe and sustainable choice for various applications. Highly Versatile: Aquarium:  When properly prepared, they can release a low amount of tannin, promote biofilm, and they contribute to a natural environment which stimulates natural behaviors for fish and shrimp and can be used as spawning sites.   Urchin pods will need an extra-long soak to become waterlogged as they tend to float a long time.  An aquarium-safe weight or rock can also be used to weight it down.
