Enamel Sequoia Cone bookmark with metal chain and page holder. The unassuming cone of the Giant Sequoia holds the future of the forest. It can hang closed on a branch for two decad es, tightly protecting its seeds. It is waiting for a specific signal: the intense heat of a forest fire. This heat dries the cone, forcing its scales to open and release hundreds of tiny seeds onto the newly cleared, sunlit, and nutrient-rich soil below, ensuring the next generation of giants can take root.
