Mother Nature has produced a highly developed a pine tree cone that is the densest pine cone on the planet, with the power to withstand fire, similar to Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. We are talking about the remarkable Knobcone Pine Cone found in select forest areas in Oregon and California . Pinecones have been around and revered since ancient civilizations, the fruit (or seed) of the evergreen, a special symbol connected to ideas of eternal life.
The pine cone form has a spine that spirals in perfect Fibonacci sequence in both directions, also referred to as a sacred geometry. Recognized in certain circles as the third eye, a reference to our pineal gland named after “pine” or “pinus” due to the pinecone shape, provide perception beyond ordinary sight opening from your energy center within.The knobcone pine cone pictured above is truly magnificent and over 5 inches in length and really knobby.

This original eco jewelry starts with the knob cone pine trees (Pinus attenuata) grown in select areas of California and Oregon. The knobcone pine cone is developed on young trees and tightly circles the trunks ranging from 3-5 inches in size. The pine cones has tough outer spines and only opens to release the seed when the temperature is excessively hot, recorded 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Knobcone pines are tough trees that grow well in poor soils with mature heights of 25-75 feet depending on the climatic conditions. They are difficult to pick and have a protective layer of epoxy resin that keeps them closed as they are stuck to the trees for up to 50 years, depending on fires.
