Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba)
Crush/Grind Peppermill, 11 inches tall

Jatobá or Guapinol is a tree common to the Caribbean, Central, and South America. It is a hardwood that is used for furniture,
flooring  and decorative purposes.  Jatoba is sometimes referred to as Brazilian Cherry or South American Cherry, it is not a
cherry tree and is in no way, botanically or otherwise related to the Black Cherry, a very common American hardwood.
Jatoba produces an orange, resinous, sticky gum that converts to amber  through a chemical process that requires millions
of years.  Amber has provided scientists with many clues to its prehistoric presence on Earth as well as to the often extinct
insects and plants encased in it. (As shown in the Jurassic Park movies.)
