This cane offers a unique visual between the ancient and modern forms of the same species, Red Gum from Australia. The handle is ancient Red Gum and it's nearly black. Second image shows this cane in the sunlight, its dark handle is also very chatoyant and comes to life in brighter light! It spend several thousand years buried in a bog slowly getting stained darker and darker by mineral exposure but deprived of oxygen thus preventing decay. It's highly figured, some of the most figured ancient material I've ever acquired. The shaft is also red gum but it shows what this species looks like cut and dried from a recent tree - quite vibrant and very red! A divider of silvery aluminum and a centerpiece of ancient woolly mammoth molar tells another fascinating story. This piece of extinct mammoth tooth was excavated from the Siberian permafrost where it was trapped in ice for at least 10,000 years, likely 30,000 years or longer. A great daily use cane with a medium weight that can be used by anyone. Total length measures 38" and can be shortened to fit.
