This is a handmade round pendant necklace featuring a carved sea lion design and the word "Galápagos" on a dark organic material with an adjustable cord.

The back of the pendant displays the natural dark brown outer rind (bark) of the tagua nut.

As a handmade eco-souvenir, a carved tagua nut pendant necklace like this typically carries a retail or resale value of $15 to $30 USD.

The overall value is driven by a few distinct factors:

• Material Value: The raw tagua nut itself is quite inexpensive, usually selling for just a few dollars per pound to carvers. Its primary value lies in its durability and popularity as a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to animal ivory. 

• Artisanal Labor: The majority of the item's value comes from the time and craftsmanship required to slice, polish, and delicately etch the sea lion design into the seed's dense core. 

• Souvenir Premium: Pieces featuring location-specific branding like "Galápagos" are typically sold in regional artisan markets or specialty fair-trade shops, where travelers willingly pay a slight premium for a meaningful travel keepsake
