About the Item

Coco de mer is the Palm with the largest coconuts in the world. It grows only on the Seychelles islands of Curieuse and Praslin. The Coco de mer's place of growth was only discovered in 1768 by a French expedition. Before then, people were in the dark about its origin. One concoction was that they came from an unknown palm growing in the sea, hence the name Coco de Mer or sea coconut. This fruit with a nevertheless somewhat erotic shape was already attributed to a woman's hindquarters in its scientific name. Lodoicea callypige, in which the species designation cally-pige stands for beautiful rump in ancient Greek. The Coco de mer is a rare protected species and has been classified as 'endangered' on the IUCN Red List since 2007. Since they are no longer allowed to be exported from the Seychelles, they are extra sought-after and special to come across in Europe. This specimen is polished, hence its shine.
