The capim dourado or golden grass is found only in the region of the Tocantins River in north central Brazil. It is a flowering wild grass that dries to the brilliant gold color that can be seen in these products. The color does not fade over time. The only plant in the world that grows gold colored and stays gold. Talent and hard work are readily apparent in each piece such as baskets, earrings, and necklaces. Purchases of these products help individuals and families escape poverty.
