Hey there! You're right, mace is a spice. It grows around nutmeg, and has a similar flavor.

Here's a big photo of ground mace: http://www.bulkpeppercorns.com/mace_spice
And here's a photo of mace (and nutmeg) in it's natural state: http://en.wikipedia.org...

Mace is a slightly unusual spice you can order online (we like Kalustyans -- check them out!) -- it's dark-colored and usually sold ground.
