It's a knot on a tree, probably caused by damage to the tree, or some kind of infection, where the tree grows in an abnormal manner. Burlwood tends to have spectacular and unusual grain patterns, which makes it popular for decorative applications, like hairsticks.

Ah, thanks, that makes things MUCH clearer now.

Lissandria, glad we enabled you! We'll wait for your action pics impatiently...
(btw, I think the last stick of Boo's is purpleheart with a purple acrylic topper... I *might* have drooled over it before it was sold! )

This thread (and the other one) and all the pics played a big part in me being enabled!! Feel free to take credit where it is due. Your Elymwold sticks are gorgeous!
I will def post pics when it arrives, I cannot wait.
As for Islandboo's stick- you are ONLY human after all
