A classic acorn, plump and oval-shaped, encased in a smooth, glossy, dark reddish-brown shell that tapers to a small, pointed tip. Its rough, scaly cap, a lighter brown, snugly covers the top third, feeling dry and textured. The shell is hard and unyielding, while the cap feels brittle and slightly rough to the touch. This robust, perfectly formed seed embodies a simple, earthy charm.
