What is Swamp Kauri?
Swamp Kauri is New Zealand's native Kauri trees (Agathis Australis) that fell, buried and preserved underground in swamps for more than 50,000 years (more than 50,000/up to 60,000). Swamp Kauri is in fact the oldest workable wood in the world.
150 million years ago, Gondwana Land began to break up, leaving New Zealand isolated and free to evolve its own vegetation. For thousands of years, the isolated land from others on Earth, has developed many unique plants, like Swamp Kauri.

Production
Buried under a peat swamp by an unexplained act of nature at the end of the last Ice Age, the trees have survived the centuries underground, sealed in a chemically balanced environment that has preserved the timber in perfect condition.

Swamp Kauri Gum
Swamp Kauri is very rare, very prestigious & definitely special! One of the many gems of Swamp Kauri is Swamp Kauri gum.
The Kauri gum is a fossilised resin from kauri trees. It both smells amazing and it beautiful in both texture and colour. Something so fragile can be made into a fine piece of jewellery or a decoration.
