I know this seed from Peru. Here is what is said about it for Peruvians. http://www.learnaboutperu.com/huayruro-jewelry/huayruro-seeds-bring-good-luck/
The Huayruro plant is native to Peru, and has been an important part of Peruvian culture for centuries. Huayruro seeds are found in pods in the
tall trees of the Peruvian rainforest. The red and black seeds are said
to bring good fortune and abundance, while warding off negative energy.
The mixture of black and red on the seeds is also said to bring
balance. Locals collect the seeds that fall to the jungle floor, and
many keep them in jars in their houses to bring them luck. They also
make Huayruro seed bracelets for children to keep them safe from harm.
In fact, newborn babies in Peru often receive Huayruro seeds as their
first gift, with wishes for a happy and prosperous life. Peruvian
artisans use Huayruro seeds in their huayruro jewelry. They make stunning huayruro necklaces, bracelets and earrings from clusters of Huayruro seeds. This Multistrand Huayruro Necklace from Lucky Seeds is one of my favorite pieces. With the seeds of the Huayruro, one of the most interesting Amazon plants, this necklace is truly unique and special.
