These keychains are made out of Desert Ironwood (Palo Fierro in Spanish) which only grows in the Sonoran Desert. As the name suggests, it is one of the hardest and densest woods in the world. It ranges massively in color and can have some stunning figures as a result. The Comcaacs believe this wood to carry very powerful energies for protection, strength and rooting.
