Michael Michaud Eucalyptus Collar Necklace, bronze

Native to Australia the tall eucalyptus tree is not only known for its beauty but for its aromatic leaves that yield medicinal oil. The eucalyptus tree is the only source of food for koala bears. Among its many visual attractions is its exfoliating outer bark which peels away in long strips to reveal a pale blue-gray trunk that gives the tree its common name of blue gum. Materials: The six long Eucalyptus leaves are cast in bronze. Measures: 17" L Beautiful collar necklace has patina typical of bronze as it ages. There are several oxidized spots also noted in photos. Would best suit a slender neck as the collar is fitted (see model photo).
