I really don't know...I didn't even know that their were collecting circles. If you read the link, you will see that Nickerbean has many medinical properties. I am anxious to try the scarifying and touching the bean to my skin. We really know so little about what the plant kingdom has to offer in healing processes.

Wondering: are these the seeds that are referred to as sea pearls in the seabean collecting circles?
