Entada gigas
| On Caribbean and Western Atlantic shores, Entada gigas is the commonly collected Seaheart. In other parts of the world, one will find other species, such as Entada rheedii and Entada phaseoloides. |
 |
Seahearts are often polished, and take on a very nice shine, either by tumbling or by hand sanding.
|
A very hearty Seaheart! The Seaheart gets its name from its shape. Although there is quite a variety of sizes and shapes of Seaheart seeds, some do indeed take on a very heart shape!
