The sword is made from the branch of a palm tree and the "stone" crafted from a Queen Palm seed pod. The tale of the The Sword in the Stone is a medieval metaphor for the purpose that lies in all of us. For a young Arthur pulling Excalibur from its stone when no one else could, that divine purpose was being heir to the throne, to becoming who he was destined to be: King Arthur. Is it your destiny to own the Sword in the Stone?
