Elaeagnus angustifolia, commonly called Russian olive, silver berry, oleaster, Persian olive, or wild olive, is a species of Elaeagnus, native to western and central Asia, Afghanistan, from southern Russia and Kazakhstan to Turkey, Iran, and parts of Pakistan. It is now also widely established in North America as an introduced species.

Prized in western and central Asia, Afghanistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and the United States, Russian olive wands prize a master who seeks enlightenment and inspiration. It performs in certain areas of magic with great powers but performs below average to average for all other areas. Slow to grow, these witches and wizards take more time than other people to mature and learn. Not that they are not intelligent, but it takes them longer to integrate new information. These are not delicate people; they enjoy sports and rough housing immensely. Extroverts outnumber introverts or ambiverts in zebrawood wand ownership. They are not afraid to stand out and have absolutely no shame. This can cause trouble when combined with their spontaneity, as they may react in a way that embarrasses others (though seldom themselves). Excellent balance and motor skills are common among these witches and wizards– they do excel at athletic endeavors. Another shared characteristic is their strong stomachs. They seem able to eat anything without negative consequences. This wand is stronger in direct sunlight. The hotter the day is, the more 'charged up' it seems to become. On the flip side, its powers are repressed on rainy or cloudy days.
