My mom brought some seed pods from Arizona and I cast them in Alumilite.
I thought this may be nice enough to share....

Very original Brandy! Kind of has a gator jaw look. I love the color you chose. It goes very well with the natural pod. Nice work!

OK. I think we may have missed something. What's with the band down near the nib? That's NOT a Vertex thing. I love it! How'd you do that to make it the same as the component bands? Or, is it a "secret"? I want to incorporate that into some of my Vertex's!!!
NICE WORK

The band is entirely due to a mistake. I cut the blank a tad too short so put two pieces of aluminum at the tip to make up the difference. They glued together with a small gap which was filled in when I sanded. It ended up being a pretty good mistake!

Since it cam from the southwest, they may be mesquite seed pods.
