Inside the mahogany fruit sits a hard, angular central column, and slicing it across produces these chunky, star-shaped pieces. Mahogany Slice shows a pointed, star-like or pentagonal outline, a cut face crazed with fine cracks and pale speckling, and small dark seed marks near the points. Colouring moves between chocolate brown and greyish stone tones, and some pieces reveal a streaked, reddish grain along their sides.
The geometric outline gives this component real visual structure. In potpourri it contrasts with round fruits and soft petals; on wreaths and garlands it reads almost like a carved star, making it a natural fit for festive and winter work. Because the slices are dense and heavy, they stay in place in shallow dishes and survive handling and shipping well.
Floral Mongers supplies Mahogany Slice naturally dried and unscented, sold by weight. The slightly porous cut face can take fragrance oils for buyers who make their own blends. We pack this dried botanical in moisture-protected export cartons for importers, wholesalers and craft brands.

Natural variation
Each slice follows the natural pod core, so outline sharpness, thickness, crackle pattern and colour between brown and grey vary from piece to piece. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Store dry in a closed container
- Brush the crackled face gently to remove dust
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight
- Avoid dropping on hard floors; points may chip
