Information:
The 6,000 Year Old Swamp Kauri was growing during the ice age when
Woolly Mammoths were roaming and was buried by
natural cataclysmic events. The tree was discovered by a
utility company which were preparing to install utility poles and
they came across a huge Kauri tree buried in the ground in New
Zealand. The tree was removed and pieces were sent for carbon-dating
and these were determined to be over 6,000 years old. This
particular piece of Swamp Kauri was salvaged and has intense swirly
figure with varying shades of color.
The Curly
Eucalyptus is from a storm-damaged tree on the North Island of New Zealand
near Tongariro National Park. This piece of Curly Eucalyptus has
nice curls and some color streaks interspersed throughout. The light
colored Curly Eucalyptus provides a nice contrast to the 6,000 Year
Old Swamp Kauri. |
